Norman LeBeau

I always looked forward to visiting Norman. Many will remember him for his beautiful works; those who ever met Norman in person we will remember him for who he was more so. He always had great stories with such detail you felt as if you experienced what he had. Whenever we'd talk, whatever troubles bothered me before seemed to disappear. He loved when my kids visited with me and they too enjoyed his stories and the company of the dogs. I can only begin to imagine the sorrow everyone else...

Dear Brooke, I love you very much and have known you for many years and we have been close for a long time. I was fortunate to meet Norman through you and think he was a wonderful man. I was also fortunate enough to have a piece of his sulpture that looks like Mandie Rose that I love dearly. He will be missed but I will be glad to have you home again.
Love Cindy

Dearest Brooke,
My heart and sole goes out to you on your loss. You know I have always loved Norman like a brother. I was very fortunate when he became my friend, but I was thrilled when he brought you here because you made him so happy. I am delighted that we have become such good friends. You cherished and cared for Norman for years. He was so proud of you and loved showing you off. Now after his passing, I feel very fortunate that we have each other, thank you for being there. You are...

Dearest Brooke,
Our sympathies for you and Norman's family. Norman enriched our lives as he did so many others. The greatest gift Norman gave to us was you. We met you through Norman many years ago and you are a dear. Again, many prayers to you and to Norman's family. Will miss his flair for life and his humor.

Dear Brooke, words cannot begin to convey my deepest sympathies to you at this horrendous time. I have nothing but fond thoughts, feelings and memories of Norman and all the nutty,funny times and things we shared. As "old blue eyes" said, "He did it his way" and he was a very fortunate man..as you know, he always had a kind word and joke to go with it. He will be sorely missed by many. He made his mark on so many, not only as a supremely talented artist, but as a friend, buddy and Mensch. ...

Brooke,
Just wanted to send my sincere condolences on your loss. May wonderful memories help you through.

My condolences to Norman's family. Norman was a one of a kind "kind" man who helped mentor me as a sculptor.

His wonderful works told stories that linger long afterward... and so they shall with this writer.

Norman...I will never forget the sincere kindness and lively conversation we shared so many years ago at your store on Worth Ave. You told stories with such humor & flair while feeling every word-just like your art. YOU were the precious gem, Norman...We miss you!
