Norman was born and raised in Chelsea, Massachusetts and earned his B.A. and J.D. from Boston University. He founded what became Stavisky, Shapiro & White, one of Boston’s preeminent accounting firms. He later bought, improved and sold Hudson Lock. Norman enjoyed supporting a number of charities, playing golf and skiing at Waterville Valley in NH. But above all, Norman loved being with his wife and family and dedicated his life to providing for each of them.
