My condolences to the entire family. I will always have the greatest memories of Norty. He would pretend he was cranky, but I know he was always happy to see Gordy and Michael’s friends at the house. Rest in peace.

Uncle Norty will always hold a special place in my heart, from taking care of my dad the day I was born(as well as many other times) to always being such a special part of Nanci and my lives. We will always hold our memories close.
