Glenn Alan Richter

So, my wife, Norine, and I are driving down Route 12 in the Outer Banks last week, past endless sand dunes and tall, wispy sea grass when suddenly, out of nowhere, appears a large silver oval sitting on four metal legs. Yes, here in Hatteras National Seashore sat a flying saucer, complete with drawings of little alien men in the windows. We stopped to take pictures, and then the first thought that hit me was: We've got to send one of these pictures to Glenn Richter. I hadn't seen him in more...

My thoughts and prayers are with the Richter family during this difficult time. I worked at the Record-Journal and had the pleasure of having many thought provoking conversations with Glenn through the years. My husband and I will miss his column. He was respected by many and will be missed.

My condolences to Glenn´s family and friends. You were an amazing columnist and friend. You will be missed

I always enjoyed his columns on local history. In particular his research on the 1860 nighttime visit to Meriden by Abraham Lincoln. I retraced Lincoln´s steps on the anniversary of that visit earlier this year, after re-reading Glenn´s account of it. Gotta love a fellow lover of local history.

Consistently the most thought provoking columnist in Connecticut. He will be sorely missed.

Our sincere sympathies for your loss.

Sympathy to the Richter family. I always looked forward to his thoughtful, funny and generally great columns. He will be missed.

With deepest sympathy as you remember Glenn. What a fantastic person who will be remembered by his wit and love of family and friends.
