It is with profound sadness that the family of Norris Abrams, Jr. announces his passing at the age of 76. Born on December 16, 1945, Norris passed away with family by his side on April 4, 2022.

He enjoyed travelling the world, visiting 25 countries with his wife of 55 years, Ruth Abrams.

Norris took great pride in his daughter, Jeanna Ward (Pat); his grandchildren, Regan Ward-Allen (Tom) and Jordan Ward (Taylor) and his great grandchildren, Austin, Brynn and Ellison. Aside from his wife, daughter, and grandchildren, he is also survived by his brother, Gary Borden (Linda), and his sister Marcia Murray.

Norris made many friendships in his 76 years. All of which he cherished deeply.
