I am so very sorry to see this and wish I had known about it last year. I had looked for him after my mom died and couldn´t find him in Phoenixville. I will always remember the good natured teasing we did together, trying to outdo each other over my Cowboys and his Eagles. He was such a friend who shared his foray into forensic dentistry. Always fascinating. I´ve missed our talks over the years, and tell the stories often. My heart goes out to the boys. You were lucky to have him so long.

Dear Goodmans; I am truly sad to read that Dr. Goodman has passed (Uncle Normie). His bright smile made him so welcoming. People always heard good stories which also taught lessons and how our heritage is valued. His participation at B'nai Jacob made that clear. My heart is with the family. May Dr. Goodman's memory be a blessing.

To Aunt Arlene and the rest of the Goodmans, it is with deep sadness that we have learned of the passing of Uncle Norm. For me, I will always remember the many stories of the adventures, or misadventures of the Klugman, Goodman, Freedman Families throughout the years. The joy of the ribbing back and forth about our Patriots beating his Eagles. I am greatful for having the opportunity to have known Uncle Norm as a kind and warm man, who accepted my kids and I into the fold even though we were the last addition of our generation, and his willingness to give us the inside scoop on all things Jewish, so we would know what was going on. We always enjoyed family gathering, and the biannual Kutcher's extravaganza. 2 things always stuck out in my mind when thinking of Uncle Norman- the way he could not wait to tell me (complete with pictures) of his most recent crime solving escaped, and that he always had at least one joke that I neeeeeded to hear. And less we forget, his famous mantra- the thing that brought the most joy to his life was the pride he had in his sons when he'd say "I am living the Jewish cliché... I have one son who is a doctor, one son is a lawyer, and one who is a banker!" Norman you will be missed and thought of with love and fondness. Rest peacefully, the Freedman Wilson Family
