Lil Norton introduced himself to me in October 2011 at the River's End annual bonfire. We had just moved in, and he wanted to welcome us to the neighborhood -- a very warm and gracious welcome. Only much later did I learn how much he had done for our community, helping to found the homeowners' association and serving in various roles on the board, including as president. Now that I'm serving on the board myself, I can appreciate how much he contributed. He was a person who rolled up his sleeves and worked to make the world a better place wherever he was. From all of RIver's End, thank you and bless you, Lil Norton, and deepest sympathy to your family.

in honor of Lilburn.

While it has been a few years since I last saw Lilburn, I have fond memories both of him and of his wonderful family -- at Seaford Schools, at the Seaford Swimming Pool, and in the community. As one looks at the impact which an individual made on this earth, certainly family is a very visable indicator. Back in a time when lots of youth were involved in all sorts of risky behavior, the Norton kids were models for the town -- Mike a solid citizen and great sportsman, Nancy a wonderful musician with an infectiously positive attitude, Lee a sweet and caring lady, and Gary a solid good-hearted young fellow. I wish I could see them today, but I am confident that each continues to exemplify the solid Christian family values of their parents. I wish I could attend the funeral, but I have a firm commitment in Wilmington that day. Nonetheless, be proud of your wonderful father; he led am exemplary life in his own soft-spoken, positive way!

Mr. Norton, as I called him, was one of the most genuine, kindest men I have had the pleasure of meeting. I grew up down the street from his family in Seaford. My most heartfelt sympathies and prayers go out to Mike & Sherry, Nancy & Bob ,Gary & Gladys, Lee & Russell and Barbara. I recall him as a living testimony of our Savior, thank you Dr. Norton for caring for so many people.
