I am so sorry to hear of Norm's passing. I was unable to be at the calling hours to express my deepest sympathy. I have fond memories of Norm when we would work St. Martha's bingo together especially his great smile. I know these are difficult times for all of you--you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

July 9, 2008
It just seemed like yesterday when we would all walk out of our houses and see each other. When Mike and Norm would sit out on the front steps and chat for hours about the world and how they were going to change their little cornor of it. It's those days in life I miss the most. I don't know what to say as I sit with tears of sadness. Although Norm wouldn't want us too-it's hard not too. I pray that peace be with all of you and always know that Norm is looking down upon us all and rooting loudly for everyone. We miss and love all of you. Love, Mike, Lori, Mikey, Natalie and Lily Washnock (The old Marview clan)

To my darling Lisa ~
Please know that you are always in my heart and in my prayers.
The days ahead will be gloomy, but your many friends and family are here for you.
Be comforted in knowing that Norm was so well-loved and respected, as was evident by the incredibly large number of people who came to say their last good-byes to a wonderful friend.
And, as a little extra comfort, please know that when I heard of Norm's passing, I said an extra prayer to heaven so that my own wonderful father would be waiting for Norm with an extended hand in friendship and a loving welcome to heaven. I am content.

Lisa, Megan, Norm Jr. and Nicole,
Makenzie and I (and her brothers and sisters) were out of state when we heard of Norm's passing. My deepest sympathies to you all as he was truly a great husband, Dad and friend.
I first met Norm when I was a young Akron police officer and he was working as the evening shift manager at Jack Horner's. What a nice surprise it was years ago to see him again, living close by in Green. He hadn't change since Horner's. He was the same kind, friendly and decent guy as always. May God bless you all and we Callahan's will keep him in our prayers.

Norm was truly special, anyone who got to know him loved him, and you knew he loved you. My friendship with Norm began in business and sometimes his competitors product seemed better but there was THE NORM FACTOR, and that always tilted the decision his way. The celebration of his life says it all. I was amazed how many lives he touched. Im so appreciative to have know him.

We cannot even begin to express the deepest feelings of sadness we have when my dad called to tell us of Norm's passing.

You have all held special places in our lives and our hearts and we miss you deeply. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

My memories dating back to grade school are full of smiles when I think of your whole family...I remember Norm as your nice older brother who didn't seem to mind even when we were giggling and running all over your house early on a Sat. morning after a Fri. night at Luigi's and a sleepover :-) Peace to you and your family.

To the Jesser Family,
Norman was my first real boss at my first real job at Jack Horner's. (1979-1982) He showed me how to work hard and was always willing to do any task necessary to get the job done. Over twenty-five have passed since I worked for "Stormn' Norman" and I still cannot slow down my own walking pace! I hope God can keep up!

Mrs. Jesser and children;
I am deeply saddened by Norm's passing, and I can only realize that God needs him in Heaven now. While our paths haven't crossed in a while, Norm Jesser is one of the finest and most quality men I have ever known. I will always cherish our time together when we coached our boys in NABA and at CYO flag football. His influence on me as a young parent and adult mentor helped me to help others, especially the children. While I do not understand the mystery of life right now, I am deeply saddened that Norm Jesser is gone. May this world be continually blessed by the goodness and character of his children. My only solace is that I know Norm was called home for a reason that is to guide and mentor us all. I am truly sorry and I wish your family success in dealing with this terrible loss. We have been blessed with the company of a good man for too short of a time. God bless you.

To all the Jessers --
When I think of high school....I think of Norm. Everyday we talked and every day we laughed (and he endlessly teased me!!). We shared the same birthday and for years to come I would receive the nicest birthday cards from him with such kind words. He was a good man with a good heart. I'm glad that his kindness will live on through his children. My deepest sympathy to his wife and all of the Jesser family. All the days of my life I will smile when I think of him. My heart was broken when I heard of his struggle and his passing. God bless you all....and know that "Stormin' Norman" (as we all knew him in high school) is making all the angels smile with his bright smile and sparkling eyes!

Went to grade school with Tommy and Norman as well as spent many summer days at Loyal Oak Pool. (Norman always held the girls heads under the water for fun. I think that was his way of flirting!) From reading all of the messages posted, it sounds like he turned out to be a wonderful guy and his death will be a great loss to the family and community.

Throughout Norm's life his light shined brightly and his beautiful legacy will continue on through his family.
