To Adele and Norton's Family:Having known Norton for many years as a tennis player and later buying my condo, he was one of the "good guys". He was always a gentleman both on and off the tennis court. With his passing I guess I'm pretty well the last member of a group of us that played at the Valley and Mayfair in the 70's and 80's. A sad day indeed. My sincere condolences. Michael and Evey Kamin

Dear Adele, Rona, David, Vickie/Earl & Bob/Flory I had the privilege of being a close friend of Norty's for many years A passionate bridge player, a superb Doctor, an intellect and above all a magnificent human being. His humanity and caring touched all who knew him. I cherish those simpler days, his friendship and his integrity He cared enormously for his children, his parents, his siblings and as well as everyone who came in contact with him. Adele has been an extraordinary, devoted and loyal companion throughout a very difficult period. May his goodness continue to be a blessing for all of you

My most sincere and heartfelt condolences to the entire Lithwick family. During the too few times I had the pleasure of spending with Norton it was easy to see he was a very special man. Always upbeat with a great attitude and sense of humour, intelligent and charismatic, loving and sensitive. David... I hope it was as obvious to you as it was to others how proud your father was and is of you. You are an extremely loving, attentive and great son. The Brass Family

We were saddened to hear of dear Nortie's passing. He was a wonderful, kind gentleman and a compassionate, caring physician. Thought she was not a patient of his, he extended himself to assist with our mother's hospital care and brought us all great relief and peace of mind that we will never forget. Our thoughts are with Bob & Flory, Adele and the whole family. This is a terrible loss and we send.our deepest condolences. Shirley & Alex Mesbur

Niorty and I go back a long way. We went to " cheder" together in Ottawa for about ten years. We went bowling on Sunday afternoons for free at his family's bowling alley. We went to Camp Massad together and then to McGill. we were always fond of each other . Sincere sympathy to Vicky and all his family whom I never had the pleasure of knowing. יהי זכרו ברוך.

It is with deep sorrow that Barbara and I learned of Norty's passing. Norty and I go back over four decades as medical colleagues on staff at the former York Finch General Hospital. Norty was collegial, honorable, professional and respected. I highly valued his friendship and loyalty at all times, confident that he was there for support both personally and professionally. Our sincere condolences go out to all of Norty's family. Special mention of his beloved companion Adele with whom he enjoyed a happy, loyal supportive stability that is worthy of deep admiration and joy. We share your sorrow. Nathan and Barbara Morrow

Rona and David: You probably do not remember me (Loretta Less), but you spent many hours play at my house with Adam and Keli. Your mom and dad were special friends of ours. I am so very sad to hear of Your dad's passing. My husband passed a few months ago (Dave) and I know what pains you have at such a great loss. My heat goes out to you both. I only just found out hence the delay in sending condolences. Your mom (Barbara) and I were good friends that lost touch over time and travel. Take care of yourselves and I have never forgotten you.
