Dear friends, As my eyes leak at the passing of a friend and colleague it is noted that all the words of condolence are a collection of words and deep thoughts that we all felt about Richard. Now it is time to celebrate how incredibility fortunate we are to have Richard Norton in our lives - yes he is gone from our immediate grasp , But look at the legacy he has left behind - words in the significant books of our time about meteorites that will be our reference manuals to this incredible science of meteoritics'. Dorothy and Richard were an unbeatable team that will live forever in our collective minds. I celebrate this great man that we all shared together.

I wholeheartedly agree the knowledge he shared with the meteorite community is unparalleled. For me, however, it was his sense of humor I found most inspirational. (I also always got a tickle over his elfish visual similarity to Hugh Heffner) His candle was bright and cast a beautiful light. My deepest condolences go to Dorothy and my sadness,deep respect And gratitude are shared with all my meteoritic brothers and sisters.
