Norton Frickey: A Great Man....
It is with great sadness that I send this email to you all today. Yesterday morning, Mr. Frickey ("NF" as we affectionately referred to him) passed away at his home in Colorado. He was 84 years old. As you can expect, Norty and his brother Doug and sisters Janet, Charmaine and Kim and their families are in the process of working through a great deal. We will let you know of the memorial service particulars once they are finalized.
I know I speak for all of us, who have learned, and grown and prospered in ways too numerous to mention, due to an idea that a unique man had more than 30 years ago. NF was not only the pioneer in the field of legal advertising, he was a pioneer of great ideas, of great challenges, of great debates, of great risks, and of great gains! It's difficult to imagine where we would all be today without NF. He prided himself on molding and building these businesses at 940 Wadsworth with his family. And, he considered us all part of his family. He shared a tremendous fondness and respect for all of you, who were always more than "clients" to NF. You too, were an integral part of his family.
There are few people who impact the number of lives that NF has impacted so positively. From the "little guy" who he so pridefully represented in court, to his fellow brethren in the legal field whose business landscape he single handedly changed with but one television commercial back in the late 70's, to the associates he demanded so much from in every aspect of business, to each and everyone of us who he truly valued.
He was loved, admired, and respected. Mr. Frickey was a good man with a good heart to show for it! To say "he will be missed" is simply an understatement.

As niece of "NF" I can say without reservation that he was my favorite uncle. His children, my cousins, were my favorite cousins. We practically grew up together. The saddest day of my life occurred when my father, NF's older brother "Sam" passed away. The second saddest day: Today, the day I learned that my dear Uncle Norton passed away.

I am sorry to hear of his death. If it were not for him, I certainly would not have the practice I have today.
Norton Frickey will always be "Uncle Norton" to me. He had a sense of humor and personality like no other. Like my sister Paula said,he was also my favorite uncle.Uncle Norton I can't wait to see you,Aunt Emma and daddy in Heaven someday. Janet,Doug,Charmaine,Norty and Kim you are always in my thoughts and prayers.Love, Pamela Frickey-Turner Cape Coral, Florida
