John Ritter's legacy lives on in his children.
The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor suddenly died on Sept. 11, 2003, at age 54 after suffering an aortic dissection. In addition to his contributions to comedy, Ritter was also a proud dad to four children. He shared sons Jason, 45, and Tyler, 40, and daughter Carly, 42, with his first wife Nancy Morgan, whom he was married to from 1977 to 1996; as well as son Noah, 26, with his wife Amy Yasbeck, whom he was married to from 1999 up until his death.
His children are all adults now, and many of them have gone on to follow in their late father's footsteps and pursue careers in entertainment. Through the years, several of the Ritter children have also been open about the impact losing their father has had on them and the legacy he left behind.

Jason Ritter delivers a spot-on impression of dad John Ritter's Three's Company character
Matlock star Jason Ritter, a well-established actor in his own right, is happy to pay tribute to his late father, John Ritter. This week he did an impression of him in one of his most famous roles, that of Jack Tripper on classic sitcom Three's Company.
