We are sorry to hear of his passing. We knew him for many years as a patient in the office. He was a very nice man and glad to have met him.

My send my sincere condolences to Norm's wife, Rita, and to all of his children (natural and step) and grandchildren. I send special condolences to our mother; I know her heart is breaking as she comes to terms with having to say goodbye to one of her children.
