Norman G. Knopf

I'm just finding out about Norman's passing. He was my first supervisor after I graduated from law school. We were both working in the law firm of Bergson Borkland Margolis & Adler in Washington, DC. He was always friendly and full of good practical advice. Before giving me a legal research assignment, he would often say, "Ralph, this is my theory of what the law says on this subject. Prove me right." I had not seen him for many years. I remember us getting together about four years...

I very much enjoyed working with him when were both at the Department of Justice.

Near one year. Blossoms in DC area a bit earlier this year. Amazing how they peaked there and in Japan the day of cousin Norman' s funeral. He lives in my heart and memory . You his family are all there too. Blessings. Love, Becca (cousin)

Norman served Bethany West for many years as a member of the Board of Directors from 2015-2021. His presence as a volunteer, advocate and neighbor will be greatly missed. Condolences to Barbara and Norman´s entire family.

We are so sorry to hear of Norman´s passing! May it help to know that others care. Sandy and John from Bethany West

Jerry and I want to express our condolences to you all. Norm was a great neighbor and advocate for our community. I'm sorry to hear about his passing. Norm always had a smile for everyone. Suzanne Richman

Deepest condolences to Norman´s family on his passing. I am a Bethesda resident and current delegate to CCCFH (Citizens Coordinating Committee on Friendship Heights), the citizens land use organization that Norman founded. Norman was an accomplished and tireless advocate for community groups on planning and zoning matters. The residents of CCCFH´s 19 communities are much the poorer for Norman´s loss. Norman will be missed tremendously for his expertise, sound counsel and friendship.

I had the "pleasure" of being cross examined by Norman in a Special Exception Hearing. After the Hearing when we were leaving, he came up to me and told me I did a good job testifying. Not sure if this was his way of apologizing or showing respect but it made me feel better.

We´re so sorry. Norm was a great help to us as a lawyer and a lovely person to be with. The Lichtensteins-Jules, Lynn, Daniel, and Ann
