Upon his retirement in 2021, Steve and Kathy moved to Hilton Head full-time, enjoying all that Hilton Head and Sea Pines have to offer.

Tony Ritz - Treasurer

Job Titles:
  • Treasurer
Tony and his late wife, Dee, first came to Hilton Head in 1986 and continued to come back over the years. They bought their first condominium in Shipyard Plantation in 2008 and, later, bought their present home at 17 Marsh Drive in 2018. Tony is a retired CFO as of the fall of 2019. Sadly, Tony lost Dee to cancer in the Spring of 2021 and moved to the Island full time in the Fall of 2021. He has no children and, happily, is now in a committed relationship with Julie Donatelli from Chicago. Tony has been up and down the East Coast visiting potential retirement spots for over 20 years, and there is nowhere he has found as appealing as Hilton Head, and the Baynard Park community is second to none on the Island!
