This one hits so heavy...a terrible loss!
Norm made a profound impact on my career in arboriculture. All the time he gave me and the great discussions we had here on treebuzz and in person. I'm truly at a loss for words!

Sad news.

Norm was one of those people who didn't say a lot nor loudly. When he spoke...listen.

Peace to his Family

Legend. A sad day...

Word came to me through back channels that Norm had a heart attack.

Please share Norm Stories.

I met Norm in 2007 at the Ohio TCC.
He was a “traveling judge”, volunteering to help w/ LOTS of TCC’s in many different states.
I was a newbie rec-climber at my 1st TCC.

The next year, 2008, I showed up unannounced at the ITCC in St Louis, MO. (prior to setup)
The event chairman asked if there was anyone who did not have an assignment; I raised my hand.
Norm (an event judge) spoke up & said “I’ll use him” !

I have volunteered for more than 80 TCC’s since then.

Thank You !
