Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGEORGES ANTHONY RITCHOT
It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Georges Ritchot on Wednesday, April 3, 2024.
He is survived by his brother Art, sister Paulette (husband Don) Campbell, and many nieces and nephews.
He is predeceased by his parents, Paul and Germaine, and brothers, Rene and Paul.
Georges started in the newspaper industry as a paper boy at the Winnipeg Tribune. He worked his way up through the ranks, working for the Winnipeg Tribune, then moving to Calgary to work for the Calgary Herald, and then for the Globe and Mail. He eventually moved back to Winnipeg and spent his time golfing, which was a passion of his. He enjoyed the camaraderie with his friends at the Belgium Club, where he also worked for a while. He also loved spending time with his family.
Georges was a caring and generous person, always willing to lend a hand and give helpful advice. He was one of a kind and will be greatly missed by many.
A special thank you to Dr. Pravin Mehta for the care over the years, who Georges also played golf with !
In lieu of flowers, donations maybe made to charity of choice.
Following Georges's wishes, no service will be held. A Celebration of Life will follow at a later date.

I am saddened to hear of Georges' passing. I knew him back from the Winnipeg Tribune days and would see him occasionally after I left there. He was someone with a great attitude and always seemed to have a smile on his face. Godspeed - Posted by: Dave Q (Colleque) on: Apr 13, 2024
