Norman Markman Obituary

Norman Lee Markman, 86, died on February 24, 2018. He is survived by Nancy, his college sweetheart and wife of 64 years; beloved daughters Karen Markman (Duane Nickell) and Christine Markman; and grandchildren Marshall Kulp and Katie Pottinger. Norm grew up in Princeton, Illinois where he graduated from high school in 1950 as class Valedictorian and captain of the football team. After graduating from Beloit College and Harvard Law School, he began his legal career at the Colorado National Bank of Denver where he became the vice president and trust officer in charge of estate and trust administration. In 1982 he started his private law practice, always admiring and respecting his colleagues and clients. He was a Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel and was included in Best Lawyers in America. Norm enjoyed hiking, running, skiing and his ham radio hobby. He was an avid reader and armchair sailor. He and Nancy loved to travel, especially in later years, touring the U.S., Canada and Mexico in their motorhome. Norm will be sorely missed by his family and friends who dearly loved him, and who are deeply grateful to the wonderful nurses of The Denver Hospice for easing his last days. A family memorial will be held at a later time.

Nancy, i was very sorry to see that Norm had died, mentioned in the Beloit newspaper. I think/thought of both of you frequently. I'm in Atlanta. You can find me on FB if you wish as Pat Clark Royalty. I'd love to be in touch with you after all these years. Fond love...

It was our privilege to have known Norm this past year. He was a kind and most intelligent man. His passing deprives our world of a good man. We shall miss his presence and his gentle sense of humor.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Nancy, their family, and the many friends and admirers who mourn his passing.
