Norm worked at Benson and Sullivan followed by CMMC for many years until becoming disabled due to a car accident in 2001. More recently Norm impacted the Real Estate world by assisting the Meservier & Associates Team with their large mailings and other office tasks. He enjoyed his time in the office or bringing work home, doing all with his sense of humor and sweet spirit, and didn't stop until the job was done! Norm was a member of the New Auburn Social Club. He fully enjoyed the simple things in life like ​ hunting, fishing,​ watching sports, especially New England Teams, and ​the ​Nascar ​ races.​​​​ ​​He ​enjoyed spending time​ with his ​f​amily and friends. He also enjoyed playing the lottery and buying scratch tickets and never gave up the hope of winning big! He ​will be remembered as a kind person who asked for little, made no demands and always expressed thanks for any kindness offered to him.
