To Janet & Family -
Alan Meyers & Myra (Jacobson) Meyers here in Calgary.
Even though we left Fredericton some 45 years ago , it was like we never left when we met Norman at simchas & at Camp Kadimah Visitor Days.
No one was friendlier. Norman was always friendly , gregarious , a big huggable bear.
He was sincere.
Always interested how me , my family & my parents were doing.

It's with a heavy heart and fond memories that we mourn Norman's passing. The last time we visited Saint John, you hosted us at your home for a lovely Sunday brunch, which we haven't forgotten and think of fondly. Your home was warm and nurturing and all those lucky enough to be in your orbit, shared this warmth. Norman will be missed by many. We hope the memories of him will sustain you during these difficult days ahead and may those memories be a blessing for you all.

A big man with a BIG smile. Kathy and I were lucky (and surprised) to run into Norm and Janet on the Broadwalk in Hollywood Beach Florida years ago. Following that chance encounter we got together for dinner on that trip at one of their several favorite restaurants and did so any year after when we went back to Hollywood Beach.
Our condolences to Janet and family. Been missing the occasional uptown encounter & chat with Norm when he was doing his banking on King St.
