Not sure what to say?

Ella
I was putting together a video for Scott's 30th birthday and came across some Doone Rd.pictures of Michael and Karen. I decided to check in on your whereabouts and was saddened to learn of Norm's death.

I remember Norm as a truly humble man who combined brilliance, caring, and hard work to the benefit of all whose lives were fortunate enough to come in contact with him.

I am very sorry for your loss.

Dave Jones

The loss is a great one. It was comforting to know that Norm was available for counsel and straight talk at various junctures of my career.

I do carry a piece of Norm with me in my professional career, and I hope to impart a fraction of what he gave to students at all levels.

Bob Stephens

I have fond memories of Norman whose charming sense of humor and kindness impressed me when I knew him thirty years ago. I am so sorry to read of his death and send condolences to Ella, Michael, and Karen. My husband, Marc, joins me in sending wishes that your memories may be a comfort to you.

What a great teacher and researcher Norm was to me and all of his students. But most of all, what a terrific person and friend. Although many years have past since we last spoke, I have never forgotten his teachings, kind and funny ways, and his true love for interacting with his students. I will truly miss you Norm.

The students, alumni, and colleagues of the College of Pharmacy adored Norm Uretsky. He was kind, giving, warm and generous. One of the finest attributes of Dr. Uretsky was his ability to listen to you first and talk later. The university and the community have lost a wonderful, caring soul. May he rest in peace.

To Mrs. Uretsky and family,

We all will truely miss your husband, as a friend, an instructor, and as a unique human being who contributed more to the lives of others than he could have ever realized. I was always glad to talk to him after class and was glad that he had confidence in us to share his experience fighting the cancer.
My most heart felt sympathy goes out to you and your family during this sad time.
