I only had my first dental appointment with Norm and then I saw his obit in the paper. He was such a fine human being and so very full of life. You loved him immediately and you could tell his entire staff loved working for him as well. His smile was beautiful just like he was!
My prayers to Norm's family and friends.

I called to make an appointment with Dr. Norm and found out he had passed away. I moved after Hurrican Katrina, but still kept in touch with him. What happened? I am so upset and shocked. I was crazy about him and thought he hung the moon. One can e mail me at [email protected].
Thanks

Dr. Norm, You were the funniest and most informative dentist I have ever been to. I cannot believe you were taken so very young. Bless you and all hearts you have touched.

My prayers go out to the family of Norm. I was his mailman when his office was located on Pass Road. Norm always had a smile on his face and always had a good story to tell. Over the years of delivering his mail, I got to know him well. He was always ready to give a helping hand and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He will be sadly missed by all.

Rolie Polie Nolie, Chubby Chakes, Brownie, and now my angel..
You are at the top of my list of people who have made me who I am today. You taught me to think deeper, to love harder, and laugh more! You always gave everything and everyone your 100%, it exhausted me to watch you sometimes! I feel so blessed to have had you in my life I know God crossing our paths was no accident. I will miss so much about you.. You truly were one of a kind, anything but the Norm! I know you are in heaven busy doing great things.. I know our paths will cross again some day. Until then I will remember the great things about you and the great things you taught me. Watch over all of us still here.. love you Nolie..
When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.

Normand, even though I hadn't seen you in years, my heart has been burdened since hearing of your passing. I so clearly remember your infectious smile and energetic personality at St. Martin. Getting a glimpse of your life through your pictures and places you had been it is obvious that you had a love for life and for those fortunate enough to be part of yours. It is heartwarming to see how much you were and are loved. Everyone who knew you will miss you greatly. I will continue to keep your loved ones in my prayers.

I will never forget the day I met this wonderful man. Normand had just started his new practice in Gulfport and I had been with the previous owner of the practice as a patient for about 38 years. My eyes were shut and he came in the examining room with that wonderful wit and exuberance of his and tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up and my first thought was that a teenage kid was my new dentist! He turned out to be great in every way. On my last visit to him before moving to VA he came into the hallway and stopped what he was doing to give me a giant hug!I will never forget this wonderful person.My prayers are with all of you.

"A million times we've needed you. A million times we've cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. If all the world was ours to give we would give it, yes and more. To see you coming up the steps and walking through the door. To hear your voice, to see your smile, to sit with you and talk a while. Would be... our fondest wish today. A heart of gold stopped beating, two smiling eyes, he closed to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the BEST"
Sweet friend you will be missed dearly. I hate I let so many years pass without talking but am thankful I got to see and talk to you a couple weeks ago. Prayers to Amber and you your family.

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered,
"Come to Me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away
and although we love you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A Golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
