Norman Charles Ulrich, 64, of Morgantown, passed away on Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022, at Rosewood Center, of Grafton. He was born on May 20, 1958, in Morgantown, a son of the late Barbara (Brokaw) and Dr. Valentin Ulrich.
Norman grew up on Willowdale Road (Don Nehlen Drive). He attended St. Francis Grade School, Morgantown High School and West Virginia University.
Norman was employed by WVU. He enlisted in the U.S. Army when he was 18 and was stationed in Panama as a medic for the 82nd Airborne. In addition to being a paratrooper, he was a noted marksman. Norm was honored to serve his country and we are proud of his service.
Norm was a voracious consumer of all things World War II. So much so that he learned to speak, read, and write Russian. His other hobbies included reading anything non-fiction that he could get his hands on, history and cartography.
Norman is survived by his siblings, Karen Hershman, Daniel Ulrich (Sabrina), Walter Ulrich (Cyndi), Stephanie Reseter (Mike), Patrick Ulrich (Tamara) and Gretchen Ulrich (Jon); stepmother, Nancy Ulrich; and several nieces and nephews.
Friends and family will be received at Hastings Funeral Home, 153 Spruce St., Morgantown, from 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 28. Graveside services will be held at the WV National Cemetery, 42 Veterans Memorial Lane, Grafton, at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 29 with full military rites.
