Dave RitchieDavid B. Ritchie, 77, Businessman, of Huntingtown, MD, who built everything from boats to garages to houses during 56 years of self-employment, died February 3, 2012 at the Shock Trauma Center, University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. He passed away peacefully surrounded by family. David was born in Washington, DC in 1934 to Dr. William Suit Ritchie and Mildred Ryon Ritchie; he grew up in Ritchie, MD, now part of present day District Heights, MD. In 1946 his family purchased a beach cottage in Calvert County where he and his sisters spent many memorable summers. During these early summers he developed an avid interest in boating, crabbing, and fishing which he enjoyed throughout his lifetime.

Before graduating from Eastern High School in Washington, DC in 1952, he met his future wife, Esther Ann, who was enrolled in the same Spanish class. They married in 1955, the same year David began building boats in Anne Arundel County, MD. The boat business thrived for over 20 years during which time a marina-campground was purchased in Calvert County. While operating the marina full time David turned his boat building skills to home building and constructed his first house in 1980. Decades of building houses and garages followed. David never retired from the construction business.

He is survived by his bride of 56 years, Esther Ann, daughter, Cheryl Ritchie, of Chesapeake Beach, MD, son, Mark Ritchie, daughter-in-law, Kristin Ritchie, of Chesapeake Beach, MD, granddaughter, Jordan Ritchie, and grandsons, Austin Ritchie and Luke Ritchie. He is also survived by sisters Barbara Crescenze, Nanette Stoffan, and Patricia Oliver and many nephews and nieces as well as a special beagle named Sport.

Following his wishes, his remains were cremated. A memorial service will be held at Chesapeake Church, 6201 Solomons Island Road, Huntingtown, MD 20639 on March 31, 2012 at 10:00 am. In lieu of flowers, attendees will be encouraged to share memories about David’s life and legacy. Memorial announcements will be communicated via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pages/In-Memory-of-David-Grandpop-Ritchie/223785951048945

Don Kleinhen, NECA President  2/6/12
 We are all very saddened by the passing of David but we also celebrate his life and his accomplishments.  David was an accomplished craftsman and a successful entrepreneur.  David loved the water and building things.  I will always remember one of the first boats David built it had multi-colored circles painted on the sides and he called it bubbles.  He later owned Breezy Point, which included the marina, beach, boat rentals, snack bar, and bath house.  Boat building was in his blood, he founded  the Broadwater boat company in Mayo Maryland 1956 – 1978.  Dave’s building enthusiasm later extended to his establishment of Homes America Corporation in Huntingtown. 

We send out condolences to Dave’s wife Esther Ann, his children Cheryl and Mark and the rest of the Ritchie family.

Thank you,
Gayden and Debbie Thompson

 

5/24/10  email received from Gayden Thompson:
For those of you who did not see Dad’s Obituary in the Washington Post, it is below:
 
Clay Edward Thompson, Jr., a resident of Falls Church, Virginia and Huntingtown, Maryland for over fifty years, died on May 11th, 2010 at the age of 94 from complications related to an internal infection.  A native of Texas, Mr. Thompson had an impressive career that included being a teacher, an actor, radio station owner, Air Force pilot and senior official in the Department of Defense.  He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Polly Thompson, and two sons, Gayden Thompson, of Oakton, Virginia who was a career Army Officer and also Deputy Under Secretary of the Army, and Clay Allan Thompson, of Fairfax, Virginia.  Mr. Thompson’s only grandchild, Ryan Thompson, of Washington, DC, served as an officer in the Marine Corps in Iraq.
Born in McLean, Texas in 1915, Mr. Thompson was the eldest son of Clay Thompson and Nora Beall Thompson.  He had two brothers, Noel and Aubrey who are deceased.   Mr. Thompson’s father was a banker who moved his family from McLean to Amarillo before settling in Lubbock, Texas, where he was a senior corporate executive of the “Piggly Wiggly” grocery store chain.
After graduating from Texas Technological College in 1936, Mr. Thompson, who was a speech and drama major, went to work initially as a radio announcer and then as a high school teacher in Graham, Texas, but as a result of his acting talent was soon offered a scholarship to study with Max Reinhardt in Hollywood, California.  This led to a movie studio contract and stage career.
The looming war clouds, though, led Mr. Thompson to volunteer prior to Pearl Harbor for training as an Air Corps pilot in a distinguished class that included a fellow actor, Jimmy Stewart.  Mr. Thompson flew B-17 and B-24 bombers during World War II, and also served as an instructor pilot.  At the end of World War II, Mr. Thompson served in the initial occupation force in Japan and was the first commander of Irumagawa Air Field, north of Tokyo, which later became Johnson Air Base.
After returning from Japan, Mr. Thompson entered the Air Force Reserve and started and operated several radio stations in Texas.  Among the on-air announcers he found and mentored was “High Pockets” Duncan, who later became famous as the man who discovered Buddy Holly, the 1950s rock-and-roll star.
He was recalled to active duty at the beginning of the Korean War, was integrated into the Regular Air Force and assigned to Carswell Air Force Base in Texas, where he commanded a unit of B-36s in the Strategic Air Command.  It was during this assignment that he had the distinction of being one the few Air Force officers to have piloted an aircraft that dropped hydrogen bombs in testing at Eniwetok Atoll in the Pacific.
Electing to continue to serve on active duty, Colonel Thompson had assignments in Paris, France and Washington, DC before retiring in 1972.  He then embarked on a career as a civilian official in the Department of Defense, where he was the Chief of the Security Review Office in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, and was instrumental in authoring the implementing guidelines for the Department’s fulfillment of the Freedom of Information Act. 
Retiring for good in 1985, he settled into a life that took him and his wife Polly, who had a distinguished 20-year career of her own as a member of the Executive Office of the President at the White House, regularly between their homes in Falls Church and Plum Point on the Chesapeake Bay.
Burial, with full military honors, at Arlington National Cemetery, is scheduled for Thursday, August 26 at 3:00 P.M.   In lieu of flowers, it is asked that a contribution be made to Pathway Homes of Fairfax, Virginia.
Mr. Thompson’s remains are being handled by Money and King Funeral Home of Vienna, Virginia

Walter R. Cubbage, Sr. (90) of Neeld Estate, Huntingtown ,MD. passed away at home on June 16, 2008 with his family by his side.

Preceded in death by his wife of 56 years, Josephine E. Cubbage. Loving father of Walter (Bud) Jr. (Cherry),  Dorothy Oliver (Brent). Grandfather of Michael Oliver (Debbie), Steven Oliver (Suzanne), Amy Cronin (Tim), Anna Mitchell (Todd), Sarah and Andrew Cubbage.

Walt was born to Henry and Ethel Cubbage on December 24, 1917, on a farm in Stanley , VA. , he was one of 11 children and is survived by one sister, Cora Stallard of Stanley, VA;

Walt was a United States Army WWII Veteran and served our country honorably from 1941 -1945.  He saw a lot of action during the war. When the campaign of New Georgia in the Pacific was under way, his unit was cut off by the enemy for 5 days, without food or water. They had over 132 casualties and many wounded. His job during the war was bulldozer operator and he took his dozer and cut a road thru the jungle so help could arrive. He did this under very heavy gunfire. When he was finished his bulldozer was riddled with bullets, but he was unharmed. He was awarded the Silver Star Medal, the military’s third highest medal for his actions that day, and later received a Commendation for Outstanding Service, the American Defense Medal, Good Conduct Medal, and Asiatic Pacific Service Ribbon, honors he was very proud of, but being the humble man that he was, he never spoke of it. Through the years he remained friends with his Army buddies and they would meet for lunch the first Tuesday of the month at Tucker’s Restaurant in Upper Marlboro.

He retired from the Washington Star Newspaper Co. and later worked for the Calvert Independent in Prince Frederick. He was a member of Emmanuel United Methodist Church, Huntingtown, MD, the 117th Combat Engineers, and Mt. Herman Lodge.  He was an avid golfer, woodworker, community volunteer and all around good guy. 

In 1981 he won the Neeld Estate Horseshoe Tournament and in 1983 he won the Neeld Estate Golf Tournament. Last year he won "Most Patriotic" in the Neeld Estate 4th of July Parade. In 2006 he was declared "Oldest Permanent Resident by Age at the N.E. 75th Anniversary Celebration.

Walt loved his family, his church, his friends, his Army buddies, his neighbors, his country and living in Neeld Estate. He always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell. He was truly a blessed man, but really, we were the ones who were blessed by knowing him and having him in our lives.

He was known by all of us in Neeld Estate as just simply "Roosevelt", not many even knew his last name or where he lived. He was a fixture in our community for many years and  I'm sure we all have a "Roosevelt" story to tell.  I know I do!  To me he was someone I thought would be here forever, someone who always stopped his truck to say 'hi', and to see what was up.   "Roosevelt... We'll miss you."

DID YOU KNOW??
Nearly 95% of the land in Maryland drains to the Chesapeake Bay

What We Do Matters!
Our landscapes are connected to the Chesapeake Bay.   Prevent pollution and runoff with a healthy yard.

You can help the Bay and 
improve water quality by using Bay-Friendly Techniques with 
your own home landscape. 
These techniques reduce the biggest pollutants in the Bay, sediment and nutrients,
(nitrogen and phosphorous), by restoring natural filters.

Bay Friendly Landscaping

DO SOMETHING TODAY
TO SAVE THE BAY!

 
If you MUST FERTILIZE 
your lawn... 
Do so in the FALL or Not at all
Fertilizer runoff is 
very harmful to the Bay

Attention Dog Walkers: 
  "If your dog leaves it. . . Please Retrieve it"  
SCOOP the POOP - It's A Law

Help keep our pets from polluting the Bay 

Calvert County has a
