Norman Barstow

Norm was a kind and gentle man. I loved his face would light up in a smile, and how he would dance with me at parties. Rest easily, my friend. Jane, my sympathies to you and your entire family. Norm was quite a lovely man.

Dear Jane, I was sorry to hear of Norman's passing. Although I don't remember ever meeting him, he must have been quite a guy to keep up with you! My condolences to all your family.

My sincere sympathy, Jane. I knew Norm as a kind and gentle man. My thoughts are with you through this difficult period.

I'm Bob Ball. I sang with Norm for a number of years with "The Spare Parts". I was a bass and Norm was a tenor. I remember Norm as subdued, low key but very funny/witty.

I go back to the Norm of Mt Hermon Prep days- 54-8- his wit stix in my brain- im sure we sang together- thus recommend for music- Bach Cantata 27- We do not know when our end will come" and Grieg "Solveig's Song"- Norm wld appreciate!

I'm very sorry to hear of Norm's passing. For many years he was a fixture at the Educational Innovations booth at countless science conferences. Norm was resourceful and clever and very generous with his time. He was a wonderful educator and provided many teachers with lessons and ideas that allowed them to shine in their classrooms! I have many fond memories of Norm, and I offer my most sincere condolences.
