On October 14, 2021, Norman Shapiro passed away from natural causes at the age 
of 89 years.  Today would have been his 90th birthday.  He wanted people to 
know he lived a long and happy life.  Norman was a gifted mathematician / 
computer scientist and an avid bicyclist, but most of all devoted father and 
grandfather.  Details of his career may be found on Wikipedia:  
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Shapiro.

Norman is survived by his two granddaughters, Rebecca and Rachel Gates, and his 
son-in-law David Gates.  He was preceded in death by his wife Naomi Shapiro in 
1991 and his daughter Cathy Shapiro Gates in 2021, both as a consequence of 
ovarian cancer.  Donations in his name may be made to the Ovarian Cancer 
Research Alliance.

May his memory be a blessing,
Norman’s Family
