Oliver Imbler Norville

A thing I forgot to add was that when I substitute taught at Grant High 20 years ago, it was fun to walk the long hallway with all the sports teams from past years. Olly was in several pictures, that I assume are still there.

Olly became my mentor in 1983 and for decades he was a dear friend. I will always remember him as a kind and gentle soul.

I worked with Ollie for ten years (71-81) and always found him not only extremely knowledgeable and approachable. He was a real legend in all matters urban renewal. He is irreplaceable. And a real gentleman. He will be greatly missed.

I was lucky to count Ollie as first a colleague and then a friend. I learned so much from working with Ollie, and have relied on his insights throughout my real estate development career. He was a gentlemen, a thoughtful advocate for PDC and community leader.
I will miss him but relish the fact that I can draw upon his wisdom in the years to come.
Robert Holmes and the Holmes Family

Its been thirty years now since I met Ollie as a new staff member at PDC in 1984. Upon hearing that our family with two little girls aged 2 and 4 were new Eastmoreland neighbors, Ollie offered us the use of the family's beautiful pool. Relocating from Detroit, the girls thought they were in paradise and thrilled at just walking into a neighbor's yard and jumping in their pool. They still remember this as I remember how kind and supportive Ollie was for the many years we worked together.

Dear Norvilles-

We were so sorry to hear the news about Ollie. We are down at the beach reminiscing about Ollie and your family and all the years we've known the Norvilles. You were wonderful neighbors and friends to our family. We're grateful that you introduced us to Salishan.

(Scott) remembers Ollie as basketball coach and always a model for integrity. Mary and Ollie were an exemplar for loving partnership and generosity of self. He will be greatly missed by all of us....

My sincere sympathy to the family.

Ollie was a real gentleman. He will be missed by many of us.

I was privileged to be one of Olly's countless friends, in our case over sixty years! There was something special about him. Perhaps it was his generosity, warmth, and integrity. In any event, I will miss him and always recall the many lunches and fun we shared.
