Thomas Ritzman

He graduated from The Holderness School and attended Ripon College. He enlisted in the Air Force in 1961 and during that time sustained lifelong injuries in an accident. From then until now, his unfailing courage, good humor, and love for others became a lesson to live by for anyone who knew him. He was proudly involved with the New Hampshire Disabled Veterans and a highlight of his life was attaining the post of Commander.

Jeff is survived by his siblings: Martha Johnson, Paul Ritzman, Barbara Higgins, Jonathan Higgins and Eleanor Ritzman. He leaves five nephews: Charlie and Thomas Douglas and Sam, Tom and Jonathan Ritzman.

Private services will be held at the Veterans’ Cemetery in Boscawen. Jeff is finally joining his beloved dog Kaiser who has been waiting for him for a long time. His family is very grateful for the excellent care given to him during the last two years at Genesis Rehabilitation Center in Laconia.
