Norman Carlson Obituary
A devoted father and grandfather, Norman is lovingly remembered by his daughter Penny Carlson-Palma and his son Norman Carlson. His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren, Veronica Carlson and Donovan Palma. Son of late Mildred and Carl Carlson. Brother of Ken Carlson.
Norman found great joy in the simple pleasures of life. He was an avid fisherman who treasured time spent by the water. Jazz music filled his days with rhythm and soul, while gardening brought him peace and satisfaction as he nurtured life from the soil. These hobbies were not just pastimes but reflections of his calm spirit and appreciation for beauty in all its forms.
Surrounded by friends and loved ones during his final moments, Norman left this world with grace and dignity. He is now resting in peace.
May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him. A Funeral Service will be held on August 30, 2025, from 03:00 PM to 04:00 PM at Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo 695 Elmwood Ave, Buffalo, NY.
