Norm Avery Passing
Several days ago Eleanor Avery, wife of Norman Avery, called to let me know that our longtime friend and former Estes employee had now “found his way to Heaven”. Norm came to work at Estes Industries on August 15, 1965 as Public Relations Manager and continued his work for the company until after the company was sold to Damon. He was the instigator of the internal publication called the Estes Launch Pad, which kept employees informed of just about everything happening within the company. Norm was a paraplegic, got around with his trusted crutches, but that never let that bother him. During his time at Estes he interfaced with many professions at NASA and countless others in the Aerospace Industries, gave presentations before thousands of Boy Scouts, students and other youth organizations. He enjoyed his work at Estes and we enjoyed having him with us during the Golden Years of Model Rocketry.
Norm passed away in early June, 2021. A reception is planned for Saturday, July 31st, 2021 at 10:00 AM at the Holly Hills Bible Church (2400 S Holly St, Denver, Colorado 80222). Current information is available at: https://www.echovita.com/us/obituar...-avery-12879121 Vern

Condolences to his family and friends...always sad to have to share news like this. No doubt his life -- and you all -- were enriched for his contributions to the Estes 'family'.
