Condolences to Norm's family. He and I go back a long way, hung out with the folksinging crowd and other fringe-y folk in SLC. He was a funny guy and generous to all. In later years we kept in touch by email; our last exchange was in April.
Adios, Hombre. You're the best. Put in a good word for us won't you

My heart felt condolences to the entire family as well as friends. All that knew Norman Ritchie were indeed enriched and bettered for having known him. He will be missed but never forgotten.

Norm was one of the first volunteers I worked with when I began at the Greeley Museums in 1995. He was an awesome tour guide at Centennial Village. He led those groups of kids around like nobody's business! On HistoryFest days, Norm gave kids an imaginary ride in the stagecoach. He always had great stories and a smile! I miss Norm!
