NORBERT DENGLER Obituary

DENGLER--Norbert Joseph. May 18, 1932 - December 19, 2024. A lifelong resident of the Bronx and member of Our Lady of Refuge parish, and summer resident of Breezy Point, Norb graduated Fordham Prep '49, University '53 and Law School '56, and served in the US Army from 1956-58. He spent his professional career as a tax and estate attorney in his family's law practice, and in real estate, while tirelessly giving his time and counsel to various community activities, including the Catholic Kolping Society of America, the Poor Clare Nuns, Fordham Prep and the Cardinal Newman Society, among others. He was predeceased by his beloved wife of 65 years, Marilyn, nee Hermann, and is survived by his seven children and their spouses, 19 grandchildren and three great-granddaughters. Norb was dedicated to his faith, family, friends, and nation, toiling faithfully in our Lord's vineyards. Requiescat in Pace.

For almost 30 years I have overlooked this beautiful house and the seniors that lived in it. My condolences to the family. I remember one day looking out the window as I often do and saw Mr. Dengler reading the news paper on the back porch and then Mrs. Dengler came out and he motioned to her to look towards the yard to see the most beautiful Deer eating grass. It was a moment they shared that I by chance happened to witness. I am so sorry to hear of their passing. May you all be well, may you all have peace and may you all always be filled with loving kindness.
