Norman E. Walack
December 2, 1941 - May 20, 2021
Surrounded by his family, Norman E. Walack died May 20. 2021 at HealthPark Medical Center following an illness. He was born December 2, 1941 in Chicago, IL where he lived most of his life. Norman graduated from Northwestern University in 1963, earned his CPA from the University of IL in 1965, and his MBA in 1977 from the University of Chicago. His career spanned many years in the Chicago area and his contributions were significant. An avid boater, Norman pursued and perfected his craft over a lifetime. Being at the wheel of his boat gave him endless joy and he and Rita relocated to Estero, FL in 2019 to make it a year-round quest. Above all, Norman was a generous and loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend. He will be deeply missed by his wife, Rita; by his children, Joan and Michael Terenzio, Karyn and Ernest Otani, and Norman Jr. and Alysa Walack; by his grandchildren, Katie and Brandon Zieg, Kurt Paczkowski and Kody Paczkowski; Korey Otani and Kenji Otani; and Samantha Walack and Michael Walack; and by his great-grandchildren, Jack and James Zieg. He will also be missed by his step-brother, Terry Gefael; and many dear friends and relatives. Our beloved Norman was a kid at heart whose pranks delighted all and his fun-loving spirit and charm will live in our hearts forever.
