Met Norm through the Jennifer Creed Fund which my dad, Paul Cronin was a member of too. I would pick up Norm at the nursing homes and go out for lunch and/or the Casinos.


We would exchange stories about my dad whom he knew from both of them being in the food business.

I loved how he would talk lovingly about my father.

He loved talking about the family and Florida, and would pride himself on how he ran the food catering down there.

I will surely miss him.

My friendship with Norman goes back to Flagstaff Food Service.
I was a new buyer and he was one of the first to welcome me.
He always had a smile and a joke and made everyone feel special around him.
We later worked at Hallsmith/Sysco and I spent time with him with his customers and they all truly loved him.
A tireless worker and a loyal friend .
You will be missed by all.
Rest in peace Norm.
