Norris Mauritson- RIP

[Leon]

I just got this email- I took out Jan's last name for privacy.....My condolences to his family and friends.



"hi, my name is jan b, i am a very dear friend of norris mauritson. i wanted to contact you to tell you that norris passed away yesterday, i found him.
norris shared with me late last year the horrible accusations people were making about him on your website, he was very saddened and upset over it all. i have known him for 15 years and he was not a thief and was very proud and fond of his baseball collections and his other colletables, it was his entire life since he was a young boy. he shared details and showed me thru the years his very valuable cards, i knew of his entire collection and all he had. . he was a honest man and selling and collecting was his world.

so i decided i wanted to respond and write this to you to share my side of norris and to let you know of his sudden passing yesterday.

jan b."

Horrible news. I have known Norris for 15 years. He was a character, but always a lot of fun. RIP my friend.

I had known Norris since 1999. At one point we were very close, but we had a falling out over.....a baseball card. Go figure.

To say the least, he was a character, but he certainly was passionate about collecting, especially baseball cards, comics and Superman memorabilia.

His unexpected passing at age 57 (I think) is quite sobering.

I bought a lot of my T205s from Norris, in the wayback years of 98-99 or so.
Best described as a "character" surely...it is sad that he passed so young.

Condolences to his family.

Dittos on the character designator but I also never had serious problems with him. Just a misunderstanding or two....RIP
