I was sorry to read about Pierce's passing in the Boston Teachers Union Bulletin. I worked with Pierce for two summers in the Extended School Year program. He was great with the students and such a kind, funny person. Please accept my condolences.

Larry, Maureen, & Brittani

I am so sorry to hear of the tragic loss of Pierce. He will be missed by all of who knew him. Pierce had a way to immediately make you feel like a friend - his magnetic personality was contagious to all who knew him. I´m keeping the whole Norton / Fitzgerald / Smith family close to my heart today and forever. Gone too soon, my friend.

A wise easy going man once said to the Southie contingent of the police academy "find your beach, you´ve just got to find your beach until 4pm". I hope you get to take your own advice Pierce. Find your beach Norty, find your beach my friend.

Larry and Maureen, Please know that you are in our prayers. When Pierce and Cody became roommates at PC it was the beginning of a wonderful friendship. I still remember after the games he would always greet us with that big grin and a hug. Our deepest sympathies to you and all your family. Sue and Bob Wild

Norton Family,

I am stunned and saddened at the news of Pierce´s passing. Although he is gone, his infectious personality will continue to ripple throughout the world. I look back fondly on my time spent out East, and your son´s unique perspective that undoubtedly helped to mold me into who I am today.

I pray that you find comfort in knowing how many lives he touched, and laughs he brought into this world. He will be missed.

I had the pleasure of having Pierce under my command in the BPD Bicycle Unit. He was a good cop. Always pleasant and respectful. A strong presence during the many demonstrations and riots we endured. He will be missed.
