Such sad news. Norman was my ‘payroll buddy’ in 1999 when I joined CIPP (then IBPM). He taught me all I know about payroll tutoring. I recall that through lack of confidence I was reluctant to learn, but Norman gave me the courage to deliver payroll tutorials and weekend revision school workshops. He even found a venue for me in south Croydon for my first tutorial. I have the uttermost respect for Norman and always see him as my ‘mentor’. I am sure there are others like me. At Graduation ceremony as tutors lined up to go on stage he always had this great presence about him. Norman’s contribution to the payroll profession over many years should truly be commended in some way for his contribution.
Such a shame. Very sad news indeed.

Very sad to hear about Norman.

That is sad. Norman was always very kind and encouraging with tutoring advice when we met at tutor events.
Really sad to hear the news, a true gentleman, colleague and friend.

Norman’s death was a shock. I worked a lot with Norman, and he was always a good sounding board.
Very sad news. Norman was a lovely man and always had a story to tell.

Norman will be missed by myself and I am sure everyone who knew him. The depth of his knowledge and fascinating stories were a joy.
Norman was a great inspiration to me when I first started tutoring and was always there to help. He will be greatly missed by us all.
This is so very sad. Norman was an incredible man and inspired and helped me in so many ways since meeting him many years ago.
He was a gentleman and I consider it an honour to have known him.

Awful and sad news. Norman was a very kind and
Terrible news. Norman and I always looked out for each other whenever we met at meetings etc. I have lots of memories of a very dear and knowledgeable friend. We go back a long way and had many happy days at weekend schools etc when I first started teaching the diploma in the year 2000. The world is a sad place as a result of losing Norman. God bless – now rest in peace my friend.
knowledgeable man, and we all looked up to him. He definitely helped me in my early days as a tutor.

I would often bump into Norman at Arne Street, London, as he was finishing a tutorial and I was just starting one. I have a nice memory of the last time I saw him earlier this year. I arrived and was fiddling with the light switches and turned off the lights in the room where he was teaching. He shouted out “Oi, what’s going on?” I apologised but a few minutes later knocked on his door and asked to pinch his projector (he had finished his tutorial). I’ve only been a tutor for four years and Norman was always giving me good advice to help with the tutoring.

I was fortunate to know Norman. It was in the early 1990s when, as editor of the newsletter Payroll Manager’s Review , I began attending meetings of the Payroll Specialist Group of the British Computer Society which Norman also attended. These meetings enabled me to get to know and to invite him to contribute articles. In more recent years, it was always a pleasure to meet and chat with Norman at the CIPP’s Annual Conferences. I will miss him.

Heartbreaking news and such a shock. I had great respect for Norman – he had a wealth of knowledge and was a great character, and I always enjoyed catching up with him at tutor training events. So sad. He will be sorely missed by us all.
