My sincere condolences to all of Norm's family and friends and especially his wife, my very dear friend Patricia for more than 50 years. Remembering the happy times, I had the pleasure of attending their wedding as well as events, dinners and many parties with them and hosted at their home over these many years. Norm was a welcoming and caring kind man to all, with a wonderful smile and a great laugh. He adored his wife and family and will be greatly missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him. I will continue to enjoy sweet and joyous memories of Norm.

Pat,
I am so sorry to hear of Norman's death. He was so kind to Jim at Emerald Place and always enjoyed sharing meals at the "guys" table. I had such a sense of his love of music as he would recognize so many of the songs being played during dinner. The Beatles were among his favorites. He will be missed and I send you and your family my deepest sympathy.

My sincere condolences Patricia to you and your family. I became acquainted with Norman in the 1970s when Norm was working at Sack Realty and I was across the street at Halsted Realty. Norm was such a kind person. So kind and easy to talked too. We did converse over the decades. I am so sad to hear that he is no longer here
