Norman F. Cassin

Norman Francis Cassin passed away peacefully on October 31, 2022, reuniting with the love of his life, Ann, who predeceased him in 2006. Norm was born on August 15, 1928 in Detroit, Michigan. He attended Southeastern High School where he met Ann and they were married in September, 1950. Three months later, Norm was inducted into the United States Army where he honorably served our country until November 1952. Over the next 56 years, Norm was devoted to his family and made Ann and his children his sole priority. Norm is survived by his four children, Stephen (Pam) Cassin, Laurie (Kevin) McCarty, Christopher Cassin and Greg Cassin and his three grandchildren Kelli, Melissa (Kevin) and Gregory. He adored his great grandchildren, Adeleine, Zara, Naia and Logan and would share pictures of them all the time. After retirement, Norm and Ann moved to Lexington and eventually to Marysville where he enjoyed watching the freighters pass by their condo window. When Ann was diagnosed with cancer, Norm became her devoted caregiver. He was beside her throughout her several illnesses taking her to appointments, and eventually taking over the daily routines; doing laundry, cleaning and learning to cook. Her passing left a huge void in his life and he moved to Clinton Township to be closer to his children. He was a very private and quiet person until he moved into the Town Village Independent Living community in Sterling Heights. Within months of moving there he found himself campaigning for office on the Resident's Council, upon which he served for several years. He created Norm's Music Hour, compiling music to a monthly theme he chose and sharing it with other residents. Norm went on most all of the excursions with Town Village, rarely missing a lunch outing, a trip to the casino or bus ride to Port Huron for a Riverboat Tour. Conversations with his children and grandchildren were always about his friends and experiences there. He loved the entertainment, the staff and his buddies. His last years were happy ones even though he desperately missed Ann. He is with her now and for that we are very grateful.
