BARTLETT — It’s been a tough week in the “Greatest Little Town on Earth” as this mountain community lost two notable residents: as the Sun reported in our Thursday print edition, longtime community servant Norman Head, 80, passed on Monday and then on Thursday, Molly Dore reported on Facebook that her and sister Addie’s father, soulful musician Steve Dore, 78, former front man for the valley legendary 1970s and early 1980s rock group, The Blend, “finally made it hone” after a long battle with MSA (multiple system atrophy) Thursday.
Our condolences to Norm’s wife, Kathleen Sullivan Head, as well as to Molly, Addie and Steve’s wife Cindy.
