Norman RITCHIE Obituary

RITCHIE, Norman Fullarton (Norm). Ritchie, Norman Fullarton, 84, peacefully passed away on Easter Saturday at his home at Hatfields Beach. Norman is survived by his wife Nolene (nee Cunningham), children Dean and Andrea, son in-law Grant Spencer, grandchildren Willow, Mayer and Quinn; Norman's sisters Beryl Hindmarsh and Shirley and also his extended Cunningham family in Whakatane. An immediate cremation will take place, which will be followed with a celebration of Norman's life, to be held later in the year. Norman loved 60 yrs plus of yachting , clocks, motors, wood working and whatever he could create and build. Not to mention how he would chuckle away at Road Runner and Donald Duck cartoons. The family asks, if you feel inclined, to sit with a cuppa and hold a fond memory of Norman, and smile. For goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation (Rumi). A very heartfelt thank you to Red Beach Hospice ( in place of flowers,donations welcomed https://harbourhospice.org.nz/) and all the wonderful care givers who assisted Nolene with Norman's care over the past month. Thank you also to the kindness of Faithfull Funeral Services.

We will miss you Norm and will treasure the greatest of memories of the times we spent with you and Nolene, especially the sailing trips you took our family on. You were someone who could put your hand to anything which is something I always envied. You were a wonderful cousin and over the years we were as close as brothers. God speed Norman. Lyn and Peter

Norm was an under stated and over proved gentleman. He was able to turn his hand to so many skills.Woodworking, engineering, DIY everything.
He was a competent seaman and we enjoyed a few drinks with Norm and Nolene afloat. Norm was a valued member of NZMCA who worked tirelessly with his best mate (Nolene), often unpaid doing CCC's on motorhomes. We will miss him and his quiet sense of humour. Our thoughts go to Nolene and family.
Enjoy the sail Norm.
