Always remembered as the greatest source of inspiration.

Norm and I last spoke by phone perhaps four years ago. He was trying to recover from what I assume was a stroke. His memory was not good but he indicated that he remembered who I was.

Many years before that he was good enough to teach a small group of us general dentists (6) as much orthodontics as he could in a small room in a hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma over a three day weekend.

That evening he expressed the pain that he sufferred due to the then failing health of his spouse and indicated that she was all that was important in his life. He professed his love for her.

Norm always asked about my family and was doubtlessly one of the finest men that I have ever know. God bless you Norm, I miss you.

Unfortunately the world has lost a wonderful professor, the best orthodontist ever and most of all a wonderful human being who inspired so many of us.

Those of us who were associated with him recognized that we were privileged to be in the company of a true gentleman who possessed the finest qualities of warmth, generosity of spirit, and wit. He was, in all respects, a truly WONDERFUL MAN! We are all lessened by his passing. He will surely be missed.
We extend heartfelt sympathies and condolences to Norma-Beth, Andrew, Jane and Lisa.
