NORMAN BARD

Dear Mrs. Bard, Amy and Michael. It has been a very long time since I have had the pleasure of your company. Please accept my very heart felt condolences for the loss of your husband and dad. He was a man that was "bigger" and "louder" than any other I have met. Under his gruff exterior was a very warm and caring man. I will always remember my many years of working with him. There will never be another.

Dear Shirley and all of the Bard Family,
First and foremost, I am so sorry for your loss, and I hope that you may find some comfort in these words; however, I must advise that I am not quite the wordsmith that the late great Mr. Bard was.
I first met Norman when I was Nine years old, on an elementary school snow day that I spent with my dad because he took me to work with him at his office, circa 1980. At that time, his office was adjacent to Norman's office in 100 Ring Road West, just...

May your dear one Rest In Peace

Shirley, It's been a very long time since I worked with Norman when I practiced in New York. There has never been a better appeals lawyer. I enjoyed our relationship. Norman was funny, an iconoclast and a perfect gentleman. And he never lost an appeal for me when I was with Professional Insurance Company. Sad day.

To the loving bereaved family of Norman Bard. It is very difficult to accept and cope with the death of someone you love. Please accept God's loyal love that he extends to you during this time of deep sorrow and grief. Psalms 119:76. May these words give you comfort knowing that there is someone who genuinely cares about you.

Dear Shirley, Amy and Michael, Norman's presence was beautiful and powerful in our lives. He was Dad's best friend and, in that, to be looked up to and respected by us Pachter kids. So respected, in fact, that into my adulthood I continued to call him 'Mr. Bard', until one day, in my 30's, he gently smiled at me and suggested, 'Don't you think it's time you start calling me Norman?' So much sweetness wrapped up in this wonderfully gruff, big man. I will miss him, and think of him with nothing...
