I was just reading Miracles by C.S Lewis which, so far, is focusing on the natural and the supernatural. I thought of Norm´s boat "Nature". I recall being on it in the late 80s with Norm and the crew as we competed in the Newport to Ensenada regatta (Well, it was more like enjoying a sail as we watched other compete until they were out of sight). It was a very refreshing departure from the rat race on land, and it was clear that Norm was in his
element there. I pray I will see him again, perhaps aboard the "Super-nature".

Norman and I were office mates at Purdue University when we both doing our thesis research. Norman was quite enjoyable, and he took me for several rides in his sports car. We went out for lunch together many times.

I/we knew him as a gentleman and as a gregarious interesting person who we felt honored to have known.
We all have lost a good human being and we wish strength to his family in this sad time.

I met Norm on my first ride with the Bicycle Club of Irvine. I had a flat and Norm was the one who stopped and helped me repair it. I joined BCI that day and over the next 13 years rode with Norm many times. He included me in a number of the week long bike trips he organized, including two trips down the northern California Coast, two trips around the Big Island (Hawaii), Death Valley and the San Juan Islands. Norm was kind and generous and especially enjoyed introducing others to bicycle adventuring. Members of BCI will especially miss Norm and his trusty old bike. You were a good friend, Norm!

Norm and I were good friends at John Adams High School in South Bend, In. We have stayed in touch over the years and was surprised and saddened by his death. As environmentalists, Norm and I viewed the world alike. I will miss him. Condolences to Mary and the rest of his family.

Norm was a treasured friend. He was kind, generous, humble, and a lot of fun. He once told me he was a "cycling evangelist." We both laughed. Many times I would run into Norm on a ride and we would wave across the canyon, shout hello, or stop and chat if we were on the same side of the road. So it was, on that last day, although neither of us would know that it was to be our final meeting. I am grateful I had the opportunity to talk with him on that ride. I too will treasure memories from Norm's Ragbrai and Hawaii adventures. It was a joy and a privilege to know him. He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.

Im a lucky guy to have Met Norm at Ragbrai in 2007. Thanks to that connection I was fortunate enough to be a part of many of Norms adventurous bike trips. We had a lot of laughs and a lot of Mountain Dew. He was a fun, quirky guy, beyond generous, and hell be greatly missed!
