Norbert worked as a cashier and bagger at the family store and he also held jobs at Mohawk Club and Hannaford Markets. He also volunteered his time at Sunnyview Rehabilitation Ctr. He was so dedicated to volunteering that Sunnyview did an article of Norbert in a Newsletter. Norbert enjoyed listening to music and working on word search puzzles. He also enjoyed family get togethers for holidays and family celebrations, eating out in restaurants and spending time with his life partner Sherry Morrow.
Norbert is survived by his caregivers and cousins Sue Ferrara (Charles) and Jan Greene-Catalano (Ralph) and several cousins.
