To the Salem family: I first met Norm and Mary about sixteen years ago, and we have known each since then. He was one of the greatest guys around, and I can't believe he's no longer with us. I had met Angelica a couple of times, and Norm was so incredibly proud of her and of her amazing talents. I will miss him so much-- Bob Labarre, MD

Mary, Angelica and Lucas,
I had the pleasure of knowing Norman through restaurants. He was something else! While most people got excited to see him because of his generosity, I would get excited because of the person he was. He brought a bright light of positivity and happiness when he stepped through the door, and made my night so much better. He would always talk about Mary and how they met in rhode island, and gave me hope for love, Angelica's singing and how proud he was, and how amazing Lucas was. . I hope that his spirit lives on in you. I am so sorry for your loss.
March 26, 2013
Dear Mary and Children:
I know that today was probably the most difficult day in your life. My family and I were very saddened to hear about your terrible loss.
May the Blessed Mother shower you with her blessing and her prayers, and be with you during this most difficult time.
Please take solace in the fact that Norm touched so many lives by devoting himself to the church, the schools and the community.
He may be physically gone, but his spirit and smile still and will always be with all of us. A true gentlemen, that I wish I had the opportunity to know even better!
Rest in Peace Norm.

My parents have been your neighbours for many years. In the last snow storm I was concerned about my dad shoveling his driveway because of a recent fall.

We are so sad for your loss, and our prayers are with all of you.
