My sincere condolences to all of Norm's family and friends. I just learned of Norm's passing. I was a classmate of his at Nashua High School on Elm Street, graduating with him in the Class of 1967. I wish we had stayed in touch as he had quite the dry sense of humor, even back then! Rest in peace, Norman.

My sincere condolences on the passing of Norman Latour. We were truly blessed to have been able to spend time and career with Norm. Some of my favorite memories was the time when he would tell the boss I can't do the thinking for everybody. He would always document in the most General and simplest terms for everyone else to follow the instructions given by the boss. Life is short love is forever time is fleeting. We will all see Norm on the other side he is a true in the truest sense the newest Angel Of Heaven. And again my condolences on his passing.

Pat, Just learned of Norm's passing this morning - very sorry for your loss. His sense of humor was legendary! I will never forget the day he informed me he liked OPERA. Thought he was joking until he began an animated discussion of various Operas. When he started to sing - had to be there! Very independent guy - one day we stayed late for a work issue - it was raining , dark and cold. He was going to ride the bus - told him "no way I am giving you a ride". It turned into a battle of wills with me losing until he stepped outside into a downpour. He turned around and said "where did you park"?

Just hearing about Norm’s passing and I am so so sorry for the loss his family has experienced. I worked with Norm for many years at AAA in Tampa and knew of his great sense of humor, his deep knowledge on many subjects, and some of the the unique experiences in his life. Too young to leave this world at 68. I missed chatting with Norm after he left AAA and know those who were closest to him have lost a dear soul....

Loved Norms sense of humour. One day at work while he was on the phone giving an order for supplies, the woman asked him "what state he was in" and Norm told her " i'm tired and I want to go home "

I just found out about the Passing of Norm. I was his manager at AAA for the last 7 years he was there (he retired). I never worked with a more reliable or well-read employee in my career. I could ask Norm to get me some information or do something and I NEVER has to ask twice, and his work was always- FIRST RATE. Norm also had a fantastic sense of humor, he loved Shakespeare, movies and a wide range of music. It was a great privilege to work with him, but a greater honor to know him as a person.
