Norman was a close childhood friend and classmate in Akron.  He lived a few houses away — and had a mechanical talent and sense of creativity that astounded everyone. He once built a go-kart from a lawnmower engine and gave everyone their first taste of driving a grand-prix. As a joke, he attached a “panic button” on the frame and told his “drivers” to press it if they were in trouble. Like Dumbo’s Feather, it wasn’t wired to anything. One kid, however, lost control of the go-kart and drove down Schocalog pressing it in a frenzy. Fortunately, a thicket of bushes saved the boy — and Norman suffered a few curses. Norman was a great guy and I often remember him with great fondness. I lost contact with him but never forgot him.

My condolences to Esther and family. Norman was larger than life, a good friend and he will be missed. May he rest in peace. 
David Gedansky

We are shocked and sad to hear of Norman's passing. We send our condolences to all the family and will be holding you in our hearts.
Love,
Elise (Trumbull) and Jerry (Salzman)

This man saved my brother, loved his family and always was my friend.  We are all diminished by his passing.
