Norman Blais Obituary
He was born in Lewiston Maine and attended Ricker College and University of Maine. He spent 4 years in Europe serving in the Air Force. His employment took him to El Paso, Texas, Albuquerque New Mexico, and Ontario, Canada, before moving to Florida where he owned a small electronics manufacturing business until his illness prevented him from continuing. He did some traveling with his wife Claire, and his favorite pastime was golf, where he really excelled.
He is survived by his wife Claire (Madore), his son Scott and daughter-in-law Katherine (Haslau), his brother Jerry and Debbie (Donnell), and nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his son Steve and his parents Roland and Ida.
A celebration of life will be determined at a later date.
In Norm's memory, donations to to Global Sanctuary for Elephants https://globalelephants.org/how-to-help/ or Suncoast Hospice/Empath Health https://suncoasthospicefoundation.org/donations2/ will be gratefully appreciated.

I was in the marching band and the Tempomen. In 1964 our marching band came in number 2 in the National Cherry Blossom Festival in WA, DC. In the photo were Bill Poulin, Kirk Lalamand, Dave Brissette, Peter Dingley in my band, The Liverpool Gas Company.

Norm was a good friend while we were at LHS. We were both in the marching band and the Tempomen band. Norm played a mean saxophone and the Tempomen played on the Dave Astor Show on TV a couple of times. I'll always remember Norm for the really nice guy that he was. My condolences to his family.

My condolences to all of Norm's family and friends. Norm and I graduated from high school together at LHS. I remember him as a quiet, warm, young man with a lovely smile. He was friendly to all and was a great member of our band. May he rest well after his very difficult end of life's journey.
