What makes a man is the image he leaves when he enters and leaves a room and Norman Schlissel had such an image. He was the true life “Norm” that we all remember from Cheers shows but with a whole much more compassion. Everybody who met him knew his name not just because of his warm and friendly attitude but the way he’d open his hand to help those in need before they truly asked. Personally I only was fortunate to know Mr. Schlissel for the last few years of his life but it was easy to see how those who knew him much longer felt as he was present with him. Although he leaves us for a better place (G-D willing) may his love and kindness stay with those he touched for many generations to come and in that may he still be in our rooms however distant it might appear to be. RIP Norman Schlissel.
