Norman dedicated his entire working career to the Carpenters Union, where he worked as a floor mechanic for many years.

Above all, Norman will be remembered for his unforgettable personality and incredible sense of humor. He was witty, quick with a comeback, and had a way of making everyone around him laugh. His sharp humor, warmth, and presence lit up every room he entered, and the memories he created with family and friends will be cherished forever.

He was predeceased by his parents, Sam and Sally Goldstein. Norman is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Hedy, his son, Brad and his wife Wendy, his daughter, Holli and her husband Geoff; his five beloved grandchildren, Brandon (Mary), Jake (Angela), Sam (Sarah) Jonathan and Jared; his cherished great-granddaughter, Sofia and his sister Linda Thompson.

The family will gather privately to celebrate and honor Norman’s Life.
