I just found out about Norm's passing. I knew Norm over the past several years due to our shared world traveling. He was a wonderful guy, a gentleman, and so astute in his observations about life and living. Rest in peace Norm.

Norm was a friend since our late teens. He was a bibliophile, and a good and noble man.

I worked with Norm's wife Margie at SunGuard for many years, Will always remember his dedication to Margie through her illness. I'm so glad Norm was able to do all the extensive traveling he did both with Margie and after her passing. A great man that will be missed by many.

Norman was a loved member of our family for almost fifty years. He was a kind, gentle and generous man. We will miss his intelligence, humor, wise counsel and mini history lessons. Christmas will never be quite the same without Uncle Norman at our table.

I remember Norm as a wonderful, interesting, compassionate person who quietly helped many individuals who had material needs. As a reference librarian at CLC, he very ably assisted many students and faculty members with their academic needs. The world will miss this fine gentleman.
