It is with great sadness that Notre Dame Law School announces the passing of Norman H. Stark ‘59 J.D. Upon graduation from law school in 1959, he was called to active duty in the US Army during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He reached the rank of Captain and was the commanding officer of the US Army Recruiting Main Station in Albany, NY, and was honorably discharged in 1965.

He and Marie returned to Erie where Norm joined MacDonald, Illig, Jones & Britton LLP, the largest and oldest law firm in Northwestern PA. He was named partner in 1972 and practiced business and commercial litigation law for 35 years until his retirement in 2000. Read his obituary here.
