Norman Matthew Obituary

Dear Linda,
I was truly sad to learn of Norms passing. He was truly a warm caring and kind man. I know your heart aches with this tremendous loss but know he will live on in your heart with the memories of the wonderful and rich life he shared with you Harry and Sam.
May time help to heal.
Love to you and the boys

Linda,
I was playing Jewish Geography today with a Niles Wester and mentioned Normie's name and was so very saddened by the news of his passing. Linda, although we have not kept in contact, each time I did run into you it was very obvious to me that you were lucky enough to truly have found your soulmate. It was really beautiful to to see the twinkle in your eye and your beautiful smile when you spoke about your husband. I am very sorry for your loss.
Love,
Gayle Lieberman Torn

We were just informed today of the passing of Norm, and are very saddened by his loss. All of us at WTG, Inc. will miss his smile and energy at the AAPEX Shows. May you share great memories of the wonderful person that he was.

Dear Eddie and the Whole Matthew Family,

We were very sad to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May his memory be a blessing for your whole family.

May you only have Simchas from now on!

With warm regards,

Dear Linda, Harry and Sam,

We left the country the next day with heavy hearts knowing we would not be able to pay our respects. Our son, Kyle, told us he parked close to a mile away in order to attend. I will remember, most, Normie's contagious laugh of which I heard quite often at the TEP house many years ago. He made me promise that I would never let Sam know anything of that era. I will keep that promise. Please give my condolences to Charlotte and Lewis and to Kenny and their families. My heart breaks for you guys.

With much love,

The Stanton Miller Family

To my sweet Linda. I just learned of the sad news and wish I could throw my arms around you to lend some love and support.

Yours was a love story of the highest level and reminiscent of your Mom and Dad's. Your happiness with each other was always evident and it was hard to tell where one of you ended and the other began.

May time be your friend and soften the pain and loss. Your contagious smile will be there again in time, because you are that strong and loved by so many.

With love, Karen (Abrams) Fox

Linda and Family:

I am so saddened by Norm's passing and want you to know my thought are there for you and the boys.

I was very glad to see Norm on my last visit to Chicago this past November. A bunch of the guys got together for a dinner and we enjoyed each others company very much.

It was tough for Norm that evening but he showed us a smile and a sense of determination, very much like I will always remember him. Strong and compassionate

Please accept my sincere condolences, I am sorry I could not be at the service.

Respectfully,

I was very saddened to hear of Norman’s passing but know that you will carry many fond memories of him moving forward. During this very difficult time, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathies to the entire Matthew's family. Norm was exceedingly kind and considerate. I feel very fortunate to have met and worked with him over the last few years. I will miss him.

Dear Abe and Nettie,
I was very saddened to hear of Norman’s passing. While I know words are only a small gesture of support, I have always believed strongly that when you lose someone so close to you; so much a part of you that you continue to feel their spirit through the many lives they touched. As parents, I know that you will always remember how special you were in his life and that the time you shared, lives on through his children. You and the entire family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Washa Wanee and Nettie, My deepest sympathy to you and the entire Matthews family,

Dear Linda, Harry,Sam and Family,
Marc and I plus our family have you in our thoughts. Normie was a generous, one of a kind guy who touched people he met. We remember sitting a few rows away at the Blackhawk games when the kids were younger.
Marc will miss his workout partner from over the years and I will miss his wonderful personality and his kindness. Savor your lifetime memories. They are to be cherished. Hugs to all of you.

our deepest sympathies to your entire family, norm was so sweet and will truly be missed...all our love, neil nancy and harris elliott.

I think my entry was just lost, so I shall try again...
As I think of my childhood memories, Normie is always part of the group. We attended grade school and synagogue together and he always extended a warm smile and a cheerful feeling. We recently reconnected on email and he had such wonderful words of praise for his family. I send my thoughts and prayers at this very sad time.

Dear Linda & Family,

Our thoughts & prayers are with you. Norm was one of the good guys.

Our hearts go out to the entire Matthew family at this time and in the days ahead. Norm was a great businessman and friend. We are grateful for the opportunity to have known and worked with him.

I want to extend my deepest sympathy and condolences to the entire family. Our Families go back a very long time and I am very aware of how good Normie was to everyone around him. That is the true measure of a righteous person. I am going to try to be at the funeral, but thought I would send this note just in case. I did ask Seymour Abrams to personally extend my condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.

Dear Linda and the entire Matthew family, Terry and I are so saddened for this terrible loss. We will always remember Norm as warm, loving, compassionate and a great friend. Our hearts and thoughts are with you all. Love Mindee and Terry Zis

Dear Matthew family:

I did not know Norman personally but I was sorry to read of his death. Please accept my condolences.

God promised Abraham at Genesis 12:3, "all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you.

In order to fulfill that promise God will resurrect from the dead representatives of families that have died out. Life for such resurrected ones will truly be a blessing, since most of them will come back to an earthly situation resembling the Paradise that man originally lost.

I'm sure you look forward to that time as I do.

Best,
Addean

Our Deepest Sympathy,

Susan and Stewart Harris

Oh Linda, Harry, Sam, Abe and Nettie,
We are so far away right now (Europe), but our hearts and tears are with all of you (and the rest of your extended and wonderful family). Please know that we love you all.
