Not sure what to say?

So very sorry to just hear of Norm's passing. What a great guy. Had many great years working for him. Much respect for that man. Just read about Eric, way too young. Loved them both!! So sad.

Jon:

Sorry to learn of of the loss of your father. A tough year for you in losing your brother Eric as well. My sympathies. I remember When you had a birthday party where a number of us rambunctious boys from Beaumont were carted from putt-putt golf and swimming and ultimately to your basement for cake and ice cream by your Dad. I also recall his fondness for watching ABA basketball games on the tube...talk about old school! Once again, my condolences.

Uncle Norman, may you rest in peace. Jon, our hearts go out to you and other loved ones. I remember how Uncle Norman came out to Virginia when my father Omer passed and shared stories of the times they spent growing up together in Portland. Uncle Norman will be missed, as he touched all of our lives with his warm smile and big laugh. Gone, but not forgotten...

I knew him from our Yoga class together at Charbonneau, and only as NORM. I was just getting to know Norm better as we recently shared "war stories" over coffee where he revealed some of his Korean war exploits. What a great guy; friendly, outgoing & enjoyable to be around. I was looking forward to more one-on-one with Norm, but heard through the class that he had passed away. Only through reading the Oregonian did I realize that this man was Norm Dversdal, the father of Jon whom I have...

Norm was such a dear friend to our entire family, we loved him. He developed a huge community in the garment industry with great success. He will be missed by everyone.

Good Morning Jon. Transue Family thoughts and prayers are with you. Michael, Lila, Katie and Caroline Transue

Dear Jon, we are very sorry for your loss.

What a great guy. I also admit my admiration and respect for his ability to get himself into tight spots and then extract himself with great skill. I stand in awe! I will really miss him. The last forty years around Norm were always interesting. Thank you Norm. Dennis & Pat Digman

Norm was a wonderful man, a great friend and a admirable mentor to me. I'll remember the good times often.
