Norman was a lover of life! He was devoted to his patients in his orthopedic practice and to his hobby of studying World War II history. His passion for history led him to earn a M.A. in History from the University of South Alabama and to author a book on the military service of African Americans in World War II. His other degrees include a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University, an M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Miami, and an M.D. from the University of Florida School of Medicine. Despite his hectic schedule, he always made time for everyone. His kindness, sincerity, and constant smile will be sorely missed. He leaves behind his wife Ruth, son Alex, father Seymour, and sisters Eileen Lichtenfeld and Roberta Goldman, and many other relatives. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to the General Fund of the Ahavas Chesed Synagogue. Funeral services will be graveside on Thursday, February 25, 2016 at 4 p.m. at the Ahavas Chesed Cemetery located on Owens Street. Arrangements by Radney Funeral Home, 3155 Dauphin Street, Mobile, Alabama 36606.
