Mr. Parsons was my manager at GE for over 10 years. He was a very good manager and a fine man. My condolences to the entire Parsons family.

My family and I loved Uncle Norman so very much. I can see his smile and hear his stories in my heart. Although he struggled with Parkinson's he never gave up and did the best he could each day. He was a true Parsons: smart, determined, energetic, and compassionate. I am sure his "homegoing" is a celebration for him and to see his loved ones who have gone before he did...well, I am sure he has a story for them. We love you! Kevin, Marianne, Sarah and William Umphlett

Uncle Norman had a great sense of humor. He could tell the best stories. And he had the BEST LAUGH! I can hear it right now. We will all miss him.

My father always told me that my Uncle Norman was the smartest man he ever met. As I grew older I knew my father was right. Uncle Norman was fun to be with and always open to adventures and escapades with my father. He had a great humor and extremely gentleness of spirit.

Uncle Norman had a very quiet and dry sense of humor. He was able to tell a joke or remember a family story and not crack a smile. The few stories he told me were priceless and I will always keep him in my heart.

Norman was not only a cousin that I was proud of for his accomplishment but also a friend. My memories of him go back to the 1950s' and they are all good. I loved him like a brother!
