In memory of Norman Raymond Somer, Daniel Somer lit a candle

Sending love to all of you right now.

Norman was the best Father-in-law! I had the pleasure of getting to know him over the last 7 years or so. He always had solid advice to give and I enjoyed all of our conversations. If you could make him chuckle, it was like gold! I am a better person for knowing him. My love to all of the family and those whose lives he touched, my heart aches with you.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My condolences to you and your family dear friend. I’ll hold you in my prayers. May you father Rest In Peace. I also wish you strength and peace. Alba

Norman was one of the most wonderful person you would ever want to know. I only wish I could have seen him a couple more times this year, but the pandemic kept me from doing so, it seems like I never could say a proper goodbye. He will always be in my heart. I loved the man. Ralph Miccio

Blanche My heart is heavy at the loss of Norman, he always brought a smile into the room! Know that my thoughts are with you and when possible again, we will get together to celebrate his life properly. Wish I could give you a great big hug, hopefully someday soon. Deirdre

I’m so very sad to hear about your Dad/husband. I love the picture you picked above, it’s just the way I remember him smiling. Thinking of you all. Love, Karen Prodromo

Our New Year's Eve dinners at the Black Dog on Martha's Vineyard, are among our favorite times with Norman and Blanche along with the summer fireworks in OB. Jeff and I send our love and condolences.

Norman has been a dear friend for a little over 50 years. While geography has separated is most of those years, Norman often managed to make that distance seem closer. If travels brought Norman close to where we lived we could count on a visit, or at the very least, a phone call...sometimes when he was passing through an airport. We were fortunate to have Norman in our lives and happy that he was with us for so many family milestones. Not a Christmas Eve goes by without special memories of Norman. One Christmas Eve when he, Blanche and Amy (before Daniel) were at our house Norman said “you Christians sure did a good job with this Christmas music.” We lost a friend, but the many memories live on. Judy, Steve, Lisa and Karen

Dear Mrs. Somer (Blanche), Amy, and Daniel, My deepest sympathies to you. I have enjoyed Norman’s smile and Brotherhood these past many years while attending our Lodge meetings on Martha’s Vineyard, and we will miss him greatly. He was always a bright light to everyone around him. May your wonderful memories of Norman help you through the days ahead.

Dear Blanche, please accept our deepest sympathy and know that although we are miles apart, we are with you in heart and mind and spirit. Norman will be greatly missed and I wish we were closer so that I give you a big hug and love in person. All our love, Judi and Dean Jennings .

Blanche, Amy, Dan - I am heartbroken for your loss. You have been a part of our family for my entire life and the only expression I ever saw on his face was his warm smile. We have shared every life event together and sadly we must share this one from afar. When I was unpacking after my recent move, I opened a box of childhood items. Tucked inside was the check that Norman wrote to me in 1982 after a tough pool match in Vermont. $2 million still goes a very long way Norman. I shared it with my kids who did a double take until they realized that his checking account probably wouldn’t have covered it. Tyler immediately recounted his numerous games of war with Norman and how it was that Norman somehow let him win every tome when there was not way to rig the game. Norman and dad are at peace together, Hopefully dad isn’t blowing cigar smoke in his face. Love, Gary

Norman was incredibly dedicated to his family. I looked forward to seeing him and Blanche at all our extended family events. Always with a smile on his face and ready to party!
