Dr. Krinsky was an excellent teacher and also gave me the opportunity to work in his laboratory at Tufts after my first year of medical school. He was an excellent mentor and had a great sense of humor. I will not forget his unbelievable slides of biochemical pathways, used to frighten, teach, and entertain us!
Pleasant memories of his life well spent.

We had the pleasure of being Norman's neighbors in Plymouth. He was such a kind and decent man. We will miss seeing his smiling face and cheery hello. Our prayers are with you.

My Condolences,

Working next door to Norman during the 8 years I was at Tufts was always a pleasure. Whether it was sharing a love of music or of science, or even just working out an issue with his computer, he always made the days in lab brighter.

I have known Norman as a scientist and friend for over 20 years. He always had astute questions, profound knowledge, and a wonderful demeanor that encouraged scientific discourse. I will miss him terribly; a real loss to our scientific community.

Lisa,
You were a devoted daughter and have lots of experience in caregiving to share. Thanks for all you do. Your father sounds like he was a real mensch.

Under the dictionary entry for “Gentleman”, there should be a picture of Norman. It was a pleasure every day to have him as a neighbor in the Arnold building at Tufts, and he was the kind of person who would never pass you in the corridors without a smile and a greeting. He was already being missed at Tufts, now he will be missed all the more.

An old Irish blessing:

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h-anam dilis.
(May his faithful soul be at God’s right side).
