Norman was an exceptional human being, whose self-deprecating sense of humor, curiosity and love for his family will be deeply missed. A generous man, he was also keenly intelligent and quick with a story. Time spent with him was always a wonderful learning experience. We were always struck by his acuity & memory, not to mention his gentlemanly ways. It was a blessing to have known him for over 18 years.

Norm was the inventor of Artegraft, the vascular implant that has been in continuous clinical use for 40 years. His dedication to his family, the medical profession, and the surgical community is exemplary. Lest no one forget, this avid golfer shot his age at 86. He was truly a role model unlike no other and will sorely be missed by all that know him, as well as those who did not, but benefitted from his medical expertise.
