Not sure what to say?

I will ALWAYS REMEMBER Pop's committment to supporting all my sports endeavors. He never missed a game and never missed a post-game party! He was our team driver & was always known as "Norm" by all my teamates. As soon as I walked onto the field, all my teamates would say, "Where's Norm?" or, "What time is Norm coming?". Pop was a great person and a wonderful grandfather. I will truly miss talking sports with him and having him in my life. Rest in peace Norm....I love you! xoxoxoxo, Jacquie~

He will be missed he was a great sports enthuasiast, my grandfather may you find peace and joy and Rest in Peace

You will be sadly missed, I enjoyed taking you for rides to the Dollar store and coming back for dinner. You have truly been a blessing in our lives, and we will miss you forever.
Lovingly, Judy

I will always have such fond memories for my Pop-Pop including:
My first Phillies game when he caught a foul ball and gave it to me, all of our tennis matches and foot-races of which he won a majority, and of the times spent at Summerdale where he attended everyone of my baseball and football games. I could always expect to hear him cheer first and loudest. I'm comforted to know that he is with Nanny again but he will be missed.

I will never forget growing up in Olney with "Kelly", my father and grandfather on Nedro Ave. There was always a lively discussion between the three of them at the dinner table. Kelly knew his sports and had a great sense of humor. He was always fun to have around when we had family get togethers.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Norman was one of my favorite residents. Everytime I would see him in passing, he would make sure to stop me and say hello. He reminded me of my greatgrandfather with his jokes, smile and love of the Philadelphia Phillies and Eagles. He will be missed at The Highlands Care Center.

I was lucky enough to have known Norman for the last several years at the Highlands. He was always kind and a gentle man, and was never without a smile and words of friendship.
I will miss him when I do my monthly church sevices and communion.
My prayers will be with all your family during this sad time. Take comfort in knowing that Norman is with the Lord.
