We've known each other since age 8 and have enjoyed a lifelong friendship which is precious to me and my entire family.
Rest in Peace Norm - never to be forgotten.
Dear Gerda and Family.
Sincere condolences on your loss. Our thoughts, wishes and prayers are with you and your family in this most difficult time.
Martha, Jakob and Andreaso
Although I have not been a member of the Camera Club of Ottawa since moving to Oakville almost nine years ago, I thought of Norm recently when I was trying to photograph some abstracts of objects reflected in Mylar. This was a technique Norm used often to produce lovely images. I was not nearly as successful as he was; he was a master. Condolences to Gerda and the family.

Dear Gerda, Catherine and Sandra (and families) - I've just been a little blown away reading about Norm's passing just now. That is very sad news! I've got many many fond memories of him from all those years ago staying with you in Ottawa and from our more recent visit. My favourite times with Norm were the hours spent wandering through woods with him and watching how he went about capturing such beautiful photographs. I never managed to pick up much of his technical know-how (despite his best efforts to explain) but he certainly got me looking at everything with a much keener eye than I ever did before and I still ALWAYS think of him when I come upon especially colourful autumn leaves...and icicles!
All my thoughts, sympathy and best wishes to all of you.
With love,
Wendy
