NORMAN B. MOYES

Yes, Professor Norman Moyes could talk to the birds, or the stars up above if called for. But his most essential skill was speaking to young students who were considering a career in journalism, which print was already under fire, if you will, in the late 1980s due to falling readership before the wild west of the internet with no wise door keepers, like Dr. Norman Moyes. So now we have no idea between the veracity of on-line statements and relative truth because there is no one reputable at...

When my Dad came to visit me from Ukraine, Norman invited him for couple of coffee. They both photografers and writers, so they talk nonstop over five hours and both were happy, joking , smiling.. What is interesting, my Dad do not know single word in English as well as Norman in Russian....

A dear friend for 45 years, still missed and loved.

Norm was so passionate about journalism and that passion was a driving force in the lives of so many of his students and colleagues. The last time we met for coffee, he relished in recalling great newsroom memories. He leaves a wonderful legacy of hard work, innovation and a call to others not only to teach but to learn always. RIP Norm.

Dear Prof Moyes, I was lucky to have you as a professor at BU. You made me realize journalism is my lifelong love. Xoxo

I would just say Dr. Norman Moyes deserves so much more than a tree. Although trees are great things of the earth that I love, and I have planted several for Dr. Moyes here in upstate NY where I come from. But it's hard to put your finger on a man who gave so much, to so many in the hopes not only of making informed journalists, but better people who had the sensitivity to understand their subjects and to tell their stories with the same introspection that he indeed had. A great loss to...

I met Norman about 10 years ago. I serviced his computer on a regular basis. I would see him about every other month or so and it was usually as much a social visit as a service call. I saw him last just a short while ago. He was showing me some amazing concerts he had found online. He would always have cool stories to tell. Very nice guy. I will miss him. Rest in peace Norman. My condolences to your family and friends.

Professor Moyes and I became friends when I was his teaching assistant in late 1989/90. We enjoyed exchanging travel stories and would make it a point to treat each other for cocktails and dinner frequently when I was still in Boston. Professor Moyes and Diane attended my wedding back in the late 1990s. We've always kept in touch even though I moved away from Boston. The last time we spoke was July this year and I then sent him my wife Marianne's photography handle on Instagram and said that...

So sorry for Norman's passing. I got to know him this year and had great respect for him. May he rest in peace
