EPSTEIN, Norman Lyle - On Thursday, March 4, 2021.
Norman, beloved husband of Iris.
Loving father of Maor, and Chantelle.
Son of Eleanor Epstein and the late Murray S. (Buddy) Epstein.
Dear brother and brother- in-law of Arlene and the late Harvey Consky, and Brian Epstein, and brother-in-law of Maya Segal and Yoav and Jane Segal.
Son-in-law of Dina and Barry Segal.
Uncle to Stephanie, Mitchell, Gabriella, Ariel, Michal, and Eden.
Norman was a fierce advocate for social justice and international human rights, and dedicated his life to helping others. After more than thirty-five years as an Emergency (ER) physician at Credit Valley Hospital in Mississauga, he played a crucial role in saving lives threatened by COVID-19.
Norman was more than an ER doctor, social activist, and a family man. He believed the most important pursuit in life is attaching to something bigger than yourself. He believed in strong character (emphasized through his repeated phrase: "what a character!") and fought to make the world a better place.
He was an inspiration to those around him, a champion of good will, compassion, and a man who cared about making a positive impact. Norman, who was close with his father, often said "If I'm half as good a man as my father, I'll be twice as good as most men." Everyone who was touched by Norman could live by a similar principle: if we are half the person Norman was-fighting for goodness, compassion, and social rights-we'll all be twice as good as most people.
A graveside service will be help on Friday, March 5, 2021.
Memorial donations may be made to The Norman Lyle Epstein Memorial Fund.
