REISMAN, Norman - October 24, 1948 - January 10, 2021 -
Son. Husband. Father. Brother. Uncle. Friend. Builder. Bringer of Laughter.
With great sadness, the family of Norman Reisman announces that he died peacefully on January 10, 2021, as he wished, with his wife by his side.
Cherished son of Ruth and the late George Reisman.
Loving and devoted husband to Michelle (ne Netkin).
Proud father of Alessandra and Gregory.
Dedicated brother to Elly and Dragana, Sam and Rose, Dolly and Mo, Hannah, Larry and Marielba.
Caring son-in-law of Brenda and the late Barry Netkin, brother-in-law of Brad and Jen, and Lisa.
Doting uncle to Elissa, Josh, Faryl, Natalie, David, Laura, Adam, Jesse, Gabe, Maya, Jordan, Jack and Isabel.
Norman was the first of six children. First- born, first among equals. As the first of his Bubbi Reisman's grandchildren, Norman was her undisputed favourite. Her desire to make him comfortable knew no bounds as she happily butchered the favourite silk pyjamas of her adult son, Al, chopping them off at the knees to fit young Norman so that he could sleep like a prince.
Norman's eye and taste for the beautiful...women, clothes, art, food...gave their company a commitment to architectural distinction that won many awards.
But the stories he most loved to tell were of his family, of the life he shared with Michelle and how she and his children enriched his life. He took great pride in Gregory and Alessandra, admired the adults they've become and spoke often of the joy and honour in having had a hand in raising them.
A graveside service will take place on Monday, January 11, 2021
In lieu of flowers please donate to: Dr. Benjamin Goldstein, The Centre for Youth Bipolar Disorder at CAMH, or to The Temmy Latner Centre for Palliative Care.
