Not sure what to say?

Dr. Norfleet (he let us call him Ben) was the quintessential Southern gentleman and Family Physician. As one of the residents he trained and mentored, I can not express enough my gratitude for him sharing his wisdom and also for showing us how to be a caring family doc. He cared about his patients, and he cared about us, and we knew it. Thank you, Ben, for a life of service, and a life well lived. May God welcome you home with open arms. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, and his...

I continue to miss my cousin Ben. He was a very important part of my growing up years - the closest thing I had as a brother. I have wonderful memories as an adult traveling with Ben and Teeny. Will see you again dear one!

Teeny & Steve, my condolences. Ben was a wonderful family physician who had a great influence on my medical career early on. I greatly appreciated seeing him at the annual VAFP meeting receiving his encouraging words. Cyndy & I were appreciative of his caring for our daughter Laura after her birth.

Awe my doc from 1970 to 1999. The very best for sure. God Bless the Norfleet family forever and ever.

My deep sympathy to Teeny and the family.
I hope you are comforted by many wonderful memories as I am by the memories of Ben (and Teeny) during my Riverside Residency training.

Teeny and family,
My love to you all with regrets for your loss. Dr. Ben was a pleasure to work for and DFP was a home away from home. May the Lord bless and keep you all.
With love
Kitty

I was blessed to know Doc and spend some time sailing with him and his family. What a great human being and great family. My prayers and thoughts go out to all.

Dear Teeny, I was saddened to hear of Ben's passing. Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences. He was a good friend and we had many good times together. He will be missed. My best to you and your family. Hal
