I remember Norm when he worked at Arlington. He liked to whistle and he would always pop in my classroom to say hello. He used to go to yard sales and buy things that he knew we could use in art class. My family also loved to go to his annual pumpkin carving at Halloween. I have only good memories of Norm. Love, Clara
Nancy, Tina, Tracey and family, I’m so sorry for your loss. We’re keeping your in our hearts and prayers.

Nancy and girls I am so sorry for your loss. When I worked at Arlington he would stop by my room and we would chat. He always asked if I needed any thing for my students. If a mentioned anything he would have it for me the next afternoon. He was one in a million and I’m so glad that I got to know him. I will always remember him as a good friend.
Norm was such an energetic, upbeat and caring man. I know he is missed. Nancy, Tina and Tracy you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Nancy, Tina and Tracey are wonderful people…Nick, Tony and I are all very sorry for the loss of Norm. He had a big heart and a great sense of humor. He is now in heaven with God and can see his Mother again. I hope he has meatballs with grape jelly.
We were so saddened to hear of Norm’s passing. He will be sorely missed and remembered in so many ways. From garage sales to “percolatorsâ€Â, vacations and just hanging out at “bahrbecuesâ€Â, our lives have intertwined for the last 4 decades. Many great memories…..Norm we will really miss you. Our love, thoughts and prayers go out to Nancy, Tina, Tracey, Neil, Lila and all who knew him.
Nancy, I am very sorry to hear of Norm’s passing. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Warmest regards,

Tracey,
I’m so sorry for your loss and you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I just had the pleasure of sitting next to your Dad at your Steeped Tea event earlier this year; and I remember him smiling and cracking jokes the whole time. He was definitely a very special person : ) . I’m sorry I wasn’t able to be at the service and memorial; but I’m sure there was a lot of love and memories of him shared by all .
Deepest Sympathy,
Julie
We just found out. We are so sorry and send prayers to your family. Joseph wanted you to know that the only thing he remembers about Angelina is Norm.
