Norman Abbott died unexpectedly on June 30, 2002 in Little Rock, Arkansas following a recent illness.
He was born and raised in Yonkers, and lived there until he moved to Tarrytown in 1963
He eventually moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where he lived for many years until moving to Little Rock to be closer to his daughter after retiring.
He had worked for Otis Elevator in Yonkers as a young man and then Technicon in Tarrytown.
Norman also served in the Pacific during WWII as an Army Sergeant.
Norman was preceded in death by his son, William Abbott, and his son-in-law, Bruce Bennett. He is survived by his daughter, Debra Abbott Bennett, of Little Rock; daughter-in-law, Melanie Abbott, of Hawthorne; and beloved grandchildren, Jessica Bennett of Little Rock and Nicole and Thadeous Abbott of Hawthorne. He is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Raymond and Jane Abbott, of Yonkers, along with nieces and nephews.
Norman was a self taught man who never stopped learning and loved music, reading, and sharing his opinions. He was also a very gregarious person who loved talking to everyone he met.
He leaves many loving friends in New York, Atlanta, and Little Rock and especially treasured his mornings spent in the Waffle House with his breakfast cronies.
There will be a memorial service held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 13, 2002 at Hawthorne Funeral Home, with a graveside service at Kensico Cemetery to follow.
