It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Normand E. Richer, 76, who passed away unexpectedly on February 24, 2025 at Rhode Island Hospital.
Born in Woonsocket, RI, the eldest son of Edgar and Mary (Savini) Richer, Normand has lived in Blackstone, MA for the last 34 years. He was a self-employed builder/contractor and was the owner of Richer Homes as well as the Co-owner of Norwil Real Estate Trust; he was well respected and admired by his clients for his quality, dedication and honesty.
Normand was the husband of the late Louise C. Richer and is survived by his daughters: Erin Lalonde of Cumberland RI, Katherine Richer of Blackstone and his brother Michael Richer of Micco FL. He also leaves his two grandsons; Matthew Lalonde of Cumberland RI and Nathan Richer, his wife Jessica and his great grandson Owen Richer of North Smithfield RI.
Normand was always happiest when he could be out fishing or working in his garden and yard. He will be deeply missed by his family and all who have had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
We will be laying both Normand and Louise to rest together at a graveside Memorial Service to be held on Monday March 10th 2025, at 10 am at St. Charles Cemetery, 103 Farm St, Blackstone, MA 01504.
They will be forever in our hearts.
