Now in paperback from actress Amy Yasbeck, an honest and loving celebration of the life of her beloved late husband John Ritter, revealing the effect his untimely death had on her family and his fans and sharing the universal experience of coping with the grief of losing a loved one. Best known for his role of Jack Tripper in the sitcom Three's Company, Ritter was beloved for entertaining millions through his many television and movie appearances. On September 11, 2003, actor John Ritter fatally collapsed on the set of his sitcom 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter. The cause of his death: an aortic aneurysm, stemming from a previously undiagnosed congenital heart defect. That day the world lost a uniquely gifted actor, but for Amy Yasbeck, the loss was far greater: she lost her husband, her partner, and the father of her daughter. In this inspiring and enlightening memoir, Yasbeck reveals how she dealt with the loss and shock of losing John so unexpectedly. It is both a moving portrait of her husband, and an extremely relatable examination of the painful process of grieving. Enduring her grief with poise and patience, she is dedicated to preserving his name and With Love and Laughter, John Ritter is a wonderful and touching tribute to a man adored by the public and cherished by friends and family.…

With Love and Laughter is actress Amy Yasbecks most enduring memory of the life she shared with her husband, John Ritter. He was one of Americas most popular and beloved film and television actors. We welcomed him into our homes weekly with his Emmy Awardwinning portrayal of Jack Tripper on Threes Company and his hit comedy 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter.
On September 11, 2003, John Ritters death from an undiagnosed aortic dissection, at the age of fifty-four, shocked and saddened not only his family and friends but also his millions of fans around the world.
In this celebration of the life she shared with John, Yasbeck gives an emotionally honest account of navigating the shock and heartbreak of her familys sudden loss. She honors his memory by recounting the lessons learned from her husband and his unique approach to life. She encourages us to enrich our own lives, as John did, by joyfully acknowledging our connectedness to one another. The tragedy of his untimely and avoidable death holds its own valuable lessons: life-saving ones. In 2007, Johns brother, Tom, empowered with the correct information about aortic aneurysm and dissections familial link, was properly diagnosed and his aneurysm was treated successfully. Knowing who is genetically at risk for this condition enables us all to avoid being blindsided by this insidious and often deadly disease. Here is an account of Yasbecks call to action for the public and medical community alike, culminating in the formation of the John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health and the Ritter Rules.
In this powerful memoir Amy Yasbeck shares her deeply personal and ultimately hopeful journey of surviving the devastating loss of her husband. Yasbeck looks back with anecdotes and memories from both Johns life and her own. Here are the unforgettable times she shared with a man who was adored for finding humor in everyday encounters, never failing to energize and entertain everyone around him. His philosophy was summed up by his favorite autograph for his fans, With Love and Laughter, John Ritter.
Amy Yasbecks powerful story reminds us that love never dies . . . and the laughter doesnt have to end.
AMY YASBECK
WITH LOVE AND LAUGHTER,
John Ritter
