In memory of

Norm Forman

August 26, 1935 - August 24, 2024

Norm Forman, aged 88, passed away peacefully on August 24, 2024, in Toronto surrounded by his beloved family. Born on August 26, 1935, in New York City, Norm spent his long and vigorous life as a passionate psychologist and advocate, as an ineffably adoring father and husband, as a lover of music and literature, and as a quick-witted, feisty friend to all those who knew him and loved him. Norm is survived by his wife, Chris and his four children: Hannah, Alyssa, Jessica, and Gideon. He also leaves behind five grandchildren: Ocie, Dahn, Mika, Annika, and Yaneev.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in memory of Norm to a charity of your choice. The family respectfully requests for the services to be a scent-free space, please refrain from wearing any perfumes or colognes. Your understanding is much appreciated.

A kind and nice man who loved his food.

I met Norm through the secular humanist movement years ago in Toronto. A deep friendship evolved. It developed through a common theme: it is important to be kind. The ability of human kind to be cruel to each other saddened & bewildered Norm. He saw how ignorance was the greatest of all human sins. Many hours were spent discussing reality, how things worked & didn't work, the subtle shadings of perceived truth.

"He delighted in food" is a huge understatement.

His love of Chris & the family were paramount.

You will be missed.
