Norman Marcus Obituary

Marcus, Norman L. (D.), 72, of Deerfield Beach, FL, passed away August 2, 2006, after a brief illness. He is survived by his devoted wife, Brenda Richey; and four children: Eric Marcus of Chicago, IL, Josh Marcus of Venice, FL, Jenny Marcus of Kirksville, MO, and Beth Thompson of Boca Raton, FL; and three grandchildren, Alex, Sarah, and Luciana. He grew up in Chicago and remained true to the Cubs. His career carried him from the Chicago steel mills and U.S. Naval service in his youth through various legal positions to his career as a federal administrative law judge. His pleasures in life included his family, friends, music, and time on his patio to enjoy them. He was a most honorable man who faced all his challenges in life with intelligence, grace and humor. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Services will be held August 19, at 2 PM, at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Boca Raton. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.

I am so sorry to just hear the news-Norm and I worked together at Transamerica Ins. Co in Chicago and went to night law school at Chicago-Kent together. I wrote him some time ago and now know the reason he never replied. I always considered him a good guy. My condolences to all of you-Bill O'Hara

I am sorry to hear of Norm's passing. I did not know he was ill.



He was a friend, and was well respected in the ALJ and legal community, and on behalf of his many friends, we will miss him.

Dear Brenda,

It has taken me quite awhile to write this. I cannot find the words to express my condolences on the passing of Norman. I will miss his dry sense of humor and the trust and loyalty he placed in me. The traits he possesed was so rare in todays world. I feel pain for you when I think of the beautiful patio you waited so long to enjoy. I picture the two of you holding hands like new lovers. Just know that the life you loved in some way, goes on forever. I am here if you need anything or I can help in some small way. Sharon Aslanian

Eric, Jenny, Josh, and Beth:



So sorry to hear about your dad. I, too, have many fond memories of growing up with all of you, and wish you well. Your dad's love of classical music (and dislike of rock music!) will always stand out in my memory.

Eric, Jenny, Josh, and Beth,



I'm sorry to hear about your father. I look back on my childhood at great memories growing up next door to a great family. I hope all of you are doing well.
