I waited to post something because I got the news early this Sunday morning.

A sad and devastating day for all alumni and current students at ACCD. Norm was great guy, father, instructor but most of all...a good friend.

I was in disbelief(still in shock now) when I heard the news from a fellow alum who is very close to the situation. Norm inspired us over the years with his teaching and personality. I personally took 4-5 classes with him during my time at ACCD and so did many of my friends who also knew Norm. We all worked really hard, had fun and all of what I'd learned from him is still with me since I graduated 12 years ago.

I saw Norm last year and it was just like old times again.


I'm really going to miss the guy and I feel for his family. Nobody deserves something like this to happen.

UPDATE- Norm's funeral service will be held at ACCD at 10am this upcoming Sunday(March 28th) morning.
