He was the best in the creation of American city map cartographic products—-precise, readable, dependable and accurate to scale. He provided me with the first modern city street fold map of Lincoln NE which I sold and distributed and other maps designed by Norm for Maps Unlimited and Rand McNally. Years later he sold quality maps I exclusively distributed to areas in Florida including West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Vero Beach and Fort Pierce. He was a main of great integrity who cared much for his family and community. Prayers continue for his wife and family.
