Not sure what to say?

I am saddened to learn of your father's passing. I attended school at St. John's Lutheran in York with both Patti, who was in my class, and Jack. I learned of your father's death from my cousin, Audrey, who sent me the obituary.

To the children of John Norris,

I was so sorry to learn of your father's passing.

Because my family, the Schaefer Family Harmonaires, were there at the founding of WGCB, I as a young girl knew your grandfather, who was the physical presence on air, better than your father. It was during his early broadcasts that I listened to my...

John Norris was a man who exemplified Christian compassion. Often, he overruled good business decisions to do what he preceived right even when it hurt the bottom line of his company. My association with John and WGCB strengthened me professionally but more than that I gained insight into a unique management standard in a tough industry.
May his family know comfort during this time of loss. Ellie Shoemaker

I worked for John in the late 70's through 85. He was a fair, compassionate man. I also met him later in life after he married Anna while working in their home. My wife and my condolences go out to you and your family.

Charlene and I send our deepest sympathies.

I extend sympathies to the family
and employees of WGCB; John
was a not only a true pioneer in
broadcasting in Central Pennsylvania
but a great catalyst for Christian
Broadcasting. Our thoughts
are with you at this time of loss.
