Robert John Nordstrom

Mr. Nordstrom was one of the smartest persons I have ever known. He taught me so much. He was a wonderful mentor and if he respected you and saw you had intelligence and street smarts, he faithfully had your back. Mr. Nordstrom looked for these qualities in the new associates who joined the firm. Of any of them showed less than what he expected of them, he moved on. If they were bright and creative, he took them under his wing and pushed them to be their best. He was a remarkable human being....

Our best to the Nordstrom family. Bob was one of the foundations of my business life and I thank him for that. May God bless him.
Jon and Mary Tabor

My sincerest condolences to his daughter, Janet Morbeck, and the rest of his family as you mourn your loss. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

My heart goes out the the family. Mr. Nordstom was a great person. My Fridays were not complete until he stepped foot into the bank. He kept us all on our toes, especially when talking about the competition. I am blessd to have known such a wonderful man.

My sincere condolences to the family. Prof. Nordstrom was a great teacher and a credit to the legal profession.

My deepest sympathies to Bob's family and to all who have had the privilege of being touched by this most extraordinary and gifted man. I was an associate at PWMA in the mid-1980s and am a walking testament to the fact that Bob did suffer this fool gladly. Apparently underwhelmed by my legal analysis on a particular assignment, but impressed nevertheless by my earnest delivery of the wrong legal conclusion, he stood up in his sartorial splendor, pulled a book from the shelf and handed it to...

Dear Avis
Even today I remember elements of what Bob taught me in 1952. I was also very proud when he became my
partner and honored when I came to know him as a friend.
My deepest sympathy.

My deep sympathies for Prof. Nordstrom's passing. He benefited so many in so many ways! Great man with such a great mind. Early in our class, some people switched seats to see if he really had the seating chart memorized, or just the few he was going to call on that day. He called them by name and asked them why they were confused about their seats. I still use his lessons almost daily. God Bless.

When someone asks me to explain the Socratic Method, I immediately see Professor Nordstrom in my mind, and my heart starts to beat a bit faster. I wouldn't dare to enter his class unprepared. We are all better lawyers as a result of his phenomenal teaching. (Class of 1976)
