Not sure what to say?

Will always be grateful for Norm's kind words on my breakthru radio show. Loved his sense of humor! God bless him in heaven forever.

Dear Grace and Norm's Family,

I am truly brokenhearted to hear about Norm.

He was such a kind and generous man, writing a beautiful and supportive review for my book. Everything about his words spelled encouragement and optimism.

I listened to Norm from Monday through Friday from my studio in Milwaukee during the 70s and 80s. I will never, ever forget his beautiful voice.

Rest in peace

I will always remember our time together. Rest in Peace Norman

Dear Grace and family,

Tomorrow is a day of remembrance for Norman, a man who filled the world with his humor not only in person, but in his writing as well. We will always remember him as a kind and supportive man who took great interest in encouraging others to do their best. We are better for having known him and in sharing a small part in his life.

Norman helped me immensely when he took my call while broadcasting from St Louis one day and let us talk...

We were saddened to learn about Norman. Please accept our deepest condolences. I still remember his voice.

Dear Grace and Norm's beautiful family,
I extend my sorrow and deep concolences over your loss, Our loss because in so many ways, Norm belonged to so many,to the world. He was truly a renaissance man, so gifted yet a kind and supportive friend, who was never afraid to laugh at himself, giving those around him a rare commodity these days, laughter.
And selfishly, I am losing a connection to my beloved mother, who was one of Norm's many fans during his broadcast years in Chicago.

Norm -
Your manners were "Grace-ious"-
Your company was glorious-
Your stories were FABULOUS-
To our dear friend, THANKS FROM US!!!

Dear Grace,
We were saddened by the news of Norman's passing. When we last spoke in February, I had no idea he was ill. We'll always remember you and Norman as two of the classiest and sweetest people we've had the pleasure to meet. We'll keep you in our hearts and prayers...Louise & Bill Saitta
