John P. Norton

Above all else, I think of John Norton as a man of great dedication. First, he was dedicated to his faith in Jesus Christ. He never preached, but he influenced others by his example. Second in his life was his family. He was proud of their children, and the extended family that followed.
In my involvement with him, he was extremely dedicated to his work. It would never have occurred to me to talk to him about being more prompt, more accurate, or more dedicated to accomplishing his goals.

When I first became friends with Dave, he was Mr Norton. He drove us to Marquette High and joined in conversations in the car. Later as a coworker, he asked Sissy and I to call him John as it made him uncomfortable to be called Mr Norton when we called everyone else by their first names. It took a while for me---I don't think Sissy ever did make the transition. As we worked closer we became friends and I eventually started calling him Johnny. He said I was the only one who called him...

To Aunt Phyllis, Cousins & family,
My deepest sympathy is with you at this sad and difficult time.

Uncle John was an inspiration to us all - his love of family and fun was constant, his positive attitude to life ever present, and his commitment to his faith never faltered. This truly is a legacy to be cherished.

On behalf of myself and my sisters, Beth and Jill, we extend our condolences to the Norton family. I remember good memories when he brought the whole family to McDonald's after Sunday Morning Mass when we all used to work there.

Dear John Norton Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. John was such a kind and caring man. I have always felt that John is the reason I am here today. He referred me to Dr. Gale at St. Lukes and pushed me to go in asap, without him I am not sure what would of happened if I procrastinated, later to learn that I needed a heart transplant. I am truly blessed that Mona had the opportunity to work with him and for us to have him in our lifes. His hospital visits eased my worries and I...
