John Norcross Obituary

Gone 10 years already-still miss him

Was at Lux bar for dinner last night-Discussed with a friend how I missed him- Gibson´s, Lux etc was a big part of his life

John and Mike were mentors to me when I was a young man and inspired me to become an attorney. I was saddened to learn of John's passing. I admire him a great deal and will always be grateful.

It was with sadness that I learned that Mr Norcross passed away. I was privileged to captain the boat he was a partner in owning. My memory of him was that he was a happy and uplifting man. My late condolences to his family, partner, and friends.

Joanna, I was saddened to hear the word of John's passing. He was a a man of the world and you made his world. My deepest sympathies for the loss of your best friend. I unfortunately was unable to attend last Saturday. Life eternal to John.

Good Guy...

John will be missed greatly! I had the pleasure of knowing him and sharing a baseball game. It was a Cubs Rooftop party He and Joanna were hosting. I sat next to John and it was the first time in person I had to really talk with him, some quality time to just chat. What a great memory! Our hearts will be filled with memories of John that will live forever... Our thoughts and prayers go out to Joanna and his family to be strong and to keep those memories alive.

Our sincerest condolences to you Joanna and family. We did not have the pleasure of knowing John personally, but through Joanna we knew him and we knew the love that Joanna shared with him. May he rest in peace and may God grant you all his loving peace. Isa and Micaela Rodriguez

I had one brother, Johnnie. Cousin John was close to being my second brother. We did many things together during our lives that were brother-like. He is daily in my prayers. Peter Reiss

Joanna, Mary Jane, and nieces, you have our sincere sympathy in John's passing. John was in Peter's and my wedding 44 years ago. John and Peter were cousins and shared many growing-up memories as well as an interest in sports and the stock market. I especially enjoyed John's and Joanna's trips to Arizona. "Eternal rest grant onto him, O Lord . . ."

I mounted one of John's favorite ranch horses and rode into the Bulldogs today to remember all those special visits we got to share.

Joanna,

We will miss him and his smiling face. We have lots of memories from Lake Beulah, the night Bobby Knight threw the chair across the arena, and the Northwestern vs Notre Dame game where John stood up in his Northwestern sweatshirt and chanted, "That's alright, that's okay, you will work for us someday!"

Jo Anna I am so sorry about whats happened with John and I'm praying for you that you will have the strength to get through this. I'm with you

My prayers and condolences to Joanna and John's family. He will be sadly missed. Rest in Peace John.

Mr. Norcross:

Must have been a great guy. He raised a great son with ethics.

As a young real estate tax attorney in the early 80's, employees at the Cook County Assessor's Office and the Board of Appeals would be confused by similarities in our names (John Norcross and John Norris). Having received results on several occasions that I always tendered to the county employees, one time I received John's results mixed in with my own and returned to my office. Rather than return them to the county office, I instead took them to the Crane & Norcross offices where I introduced myself to John. When I told him this wasn't the first time it had occurred, John laughed and asked if I had billed 'em! Great sense of humor and wonderful guy. He will be missed by many. My deepest condolences to Joanna, M.J., John's family and friends.

My deepest condolences to Joanna and John's friends and colleagues at Crane and Norcross. John lived a loving and full life, and he will be missed.

Condolence's to Joanna, Mary Jane and to John's family and friends. I'll always hold many fond and happy memories of John going back to OLPH, Glenview and Golf and beyond. Loved his dry sense of humor! Fran Holohan Thompson

John was a bright light, a giving man, helpful to many and humble of his own successes. He will be missed.

My heartfelt condolences to John's wife, his family and friends. I have long been an admirer of John's wisdom and compassion and will miss his wonderful wit and positive energy which he shared with all who knew him.
