I am from Lakeville and first knew Norm from school. I started working with him at CCX in 1985. He was my inbound coordinator and was the best supervisor I ever worked under. I especially respected him because he would never ask you to do anything that he wouldn't do himself. If there was a job that was particularly challenging, Norm would jump in to lend a hand. He will be missed greatly by all of us old-time CCX guys.

Hi Linda; Anne and I, and our children [ including Katherine in Korea] extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family. I always had the greatest respect for Norm. Largely thru you , I came to appreciate him and his myriad stellar qualities as a husband, father , marine, patriot - as a man. I'm reminded of all those years, and all those conversations we had sitting in the front office, especially on Friday mornings, which meant a lot to me. You really have been, and will continue to be in our prayers. GWE
