Not sure what to say?

Just thinking of Norman today. Those that know the history of Miami know the vision and impact he made, and continues to influence. Heading to the Diplomat for a meeting, but I know who put it on the map the first time!

Anita, Ira and Brian,
Desiree and I were so sorry to learn of the passing of your father. He was truly a remarkable man and has left a lasting mark on this community and the field of architecture.
Our fond and wonderful memories spent at your home in our youth remain with us and our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Sincerely,

Diana Mazel Pittarelli and
Desiree Mazel Hurtak

Sorry for your loss, truly a great talent and great person. I was very glad to meet Mr. Giller and his son at the Vintage South Florida, March 2nd in Hollywood.

So great is the loss felt by all who were touched by Norman and the vast and varied achievements of his life. Our thoughts go out to Vivian, his children and the entire extended Giller clan. We will keep his spirit alive through wonderful memories and the many stories he shared with us all.

We remember Norman Giller for his lifetime of good deeds, both for our family personally and for the community in general. We benefited from his architectural skills directly and have also had reason to be inspired by his good works for the community as a whole.

It has been an honor and a privilege to have known, loved and been part of the extended Giller family. Our deepest sympathy for all of our Miami family as we feel the emptiness of your loss. Saddened are we for the loss of our beloved, awed be the impression and influence he has had on our lives! As my cousin so eloquently stated, let us keep the magic alive!

Dear Ira, Anita, and Brian,
My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family at this sad time. Your dad touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him. He meant so much to me and to my family and I will surely miss the twinkle in his eye and his warm smile.

Dear Brian, Ira & Giller Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Ira and Family,
It is never easy to lose your Dad. My thoughts are with you and yours.
