Wendell Ritchie

Dearest Sharon...I am so sad to hear of your Dad's passing. When our parents pass on it is extremely hard on us...but we must focus on our lives past and then the future and wonderful memories...I have know both your parents and enjoyed the relationships personally and professionally...please find comfort in the memories and also the support of your friends during this time..my heartfelt sympathy...

From a fellow Santa, thanks for all your kind words of wisdom and friendship.

So sorry to hear of Wendell’s passing. I missed the banter and joking at Baystate after retirement but occasionally we would continue this on Facebook over the years. Condolences to his family and friends

I had Santa as a patient a few years ago. His kindness and generosity stuck with me ever since. He was such a nice man, I am so lucky I had the pleasure of spending time with him

I worked with this dear, sweet man in the late 1970s at Baystate Medical Center in what was called Data Processing in a tiny building that was the first D.P. On campus.
He was the kindest co-worker who was quick to smile with a glint in his eye. I am so sorry for all his family and friends who are suffering now. Nora Johnson

Wendell was the most kind and gentle soul. He was a wonderful colleague willing to share his knowledge with others. I will cherish the picture of Santa with my girls at the Baystate children’s a Christmas parties. Deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
