What a tragic loss of an excellent physician, kind and caring human being. I was fortunate to know and work with Andy during his years at Froedtert and Medical College of Wisconsin and had great regard for his skills and compassion. So sad to think he is gone.

A gentleman physician. Working with Dr Norton was a pleasure because you knew he was always going to be fair. Sorry to see him leave MCW and sad for his family now that he has passed on. We all have fond memories.
RIP friend.

Dear Norton Family,
Dr. Norton was the best doctor that I ever had in my life. He was so understanding and during my husband's final days, he gave me access to his pager number so I could reach him. I will never forget his openness and kindness. He was definitely the BEST. May he rest in peace.

Farewell to the wonderful friend that I made through BSA Troop 400 where we watched John O’Neill Jr. and Caleb and Sam Norton achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.
I fondly remember your curiosity, good humor, humility, intelligence and kindness.
And thank you, thank you , thank you for being such an amazing mentor to John Jr.
You saw the potential in him and helped him to fulfill it.
