NORMAN SNOW Obituary

NORMAN STEVEN aka "BUTCH" SNOW, 77, passed away on Tuesday, April 27, 2021, at Georgetown Place in Fort Wayne. Born in Fort Wayne, he was a son of the late Irving and Tillie (Bosell) Snow. Norman married Joanne Mary Waltemath on Aug. 4, 1973, and she survives. He graduated from North Side High School in 1961. Norman attended Indiana University and played on the IU basketball team his freshman year. He received his Bachelor's degree in government from IU in 1965, and he graduated from the Indiana University School of Law in 1969. He was one of the founding partners of Snow & Sauerteig, and he practiced in the areas of creditors' rights and collections, corporate and commercial transactions, and business management. He was also a certified civil mediator. Norman retired from the practice of law, in 2020, after practicing for more than 50 years. Norman enjoyed IU basketball, the Chicago Cubs, playing cards, and taking schluffs. He was he life of the party, a supreme nick-name creator, and a master impressionist. He was a wonderful husband, father, poppi, and friend. Surviving are his children, Dawn (Joe aka "Malcolm") Mattox, Douglas (Sarah) Snow and Jason (Brooke) Snow; and grandchildren, Ella, Eli, Maggie, Matthew, and Isabella. "Norman will be forever in our hearts and laughter as we remember the joy he brought to us all." A private graveside service is 1:30 p.m. Monday, May 3, 2021, at Lindenwood Cemetery.

Butch was a senior at IU when I was a freshman in the SAM house. To say I have fond memories would be an understatement. It's true he was a genius at bestowing monikers and he taught me a lot about playing basketball. I'm saddened by his loss. Wish the family well.

Norman was our dear friend and neighbor for over 30 years. He gave Marty his nickname of Mertonmorton, which is Marty’s email address! I’ve always been Linder. We took many trips together, and we enjoyed many card games with champagne!
We moved away in 2010, but we were fortunate to have a visit with Norman and Joanne last September.
He will live on in our hearts. Marty and Linda Kaplan
