May I offer my sincere condolences to Normans family on Norman passing away this morning.

He was a wonderful person and will be sadly missed.  x x 

This is such sad news.

Although we never met, I will miss him and regret never meeting him. 

He will be missed by so many.

All our thoughts go out to his family.

Trudi and Guy.

I was with a group of Norman's friends and Norman last night at the opening of the cafe/bar at Marda. He was in extremely good form, as always, full of life, friendship and generousity. I had texts from him this morning as I had to cancel a visit to see his olive trees, which he had so proudly saved from the bull dozers. He was due to sell baigels later at Moon Over the Water. Always on the go, thinkiing of others. My hearfelt condolences to Marrianne, Paul and family.

Blessings to all.

We are so sorry to hear the sad news about Norman. He and his family always made us feel welcome even though we did not see that much of them and would sometimes arrive unanounced. Our heartfelt condolences to you Marianne, Paul and the rest of your family.

I am so very very sorry to hear the news today. I have been with Normans friends most of the day, and was expecting Norman for a party at my own house this evening. This news is very upsetting and shocking, and Norman will be greatly missed by all the staff at Busy Bees. Our thoughts and prayers now are with his family and friends, as well as  all his associates. We also send our prayers to ore, his business partner, who is naturally devistated, and also to his very best friends on Hilltop,  Bev and Trev Currie.

Our sympathy is extended to the above mentioned, and all that knew and loved his charm and lovely enthusiasm for North Cyprus and life in general.. His help and love of the Island and the people in it will never be forgotten.

Dear Marianne and Paul,

Bev and Trev have just broken the news to us and we are both very shocked to hear the news of Norman's passing away.  He was such a wonderful, generous and caring person and only ever doing good for people that he met.  Bogaz won't be the same without him.  We will miss him dearly.

All our love

I am deeply saddened and shocked to hear the news of Norman's passing away.  I have been his neighbour for 3 years now and have grown to love and respect him.  His passion for life is something I have not come across before and will always admire him for this.  My thoughts are with Norman and his family.

Without Norman, Hilltop and Cyprus will never be the same.

Dean Perry   

I have not been following this board very closely for the last few days and I must say I was really shocked and badly shaken to read the sad news. He was a real gentleman and a unique person-always looking ahead and always looking for solutions rather than confrontations. I had the pleasure of exchanging many private messages on this board. I will miss him badly . May he rest in peace. My sincere condolences to Marian and Paul.

We are so sorry to hear the sad news about Norman. We will be thinking of the Family through this difficult time. Terry and Val

And to Mrs Silver and the whole Silver family.

My heart is with you all and I send much love and wish you comfort at this time. 

 Such very sad news, our thoughts are with you at this time.

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household world that it always was,
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It it the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.
All is well.

Just logged on and I am shocked by this news.  I never met Norman but his help to me over the internet and his e-mails were always constructive and worth receiving.  I grew to respect him and I know he will be sorely missed.

Paul, Marianne may I please offer my sincere condolences.

We to like many others had never met Norman but know from his postings that he was a man who cared about others and the TRNC.  Yes he will be missed and we are sad we did not meet him and wish to add our condolences to the many others that have offered them to his family.

Sook and I are saddened to learn of Norman’s passing away. We remember The Silvers as the first family we got to know at Hilltop back in 2006 and ever since then, together with Bogaz.info, we have always associated Bogaz with Nog. For that’s how towering of a figure he was in the Bogaz community. I once jokingly told Norm that I would vote for him to be the next Mayor of Bogaz, to which he laughed in the way only Nog can and proceeded to jest with one of his anecdotes. I will miss those anecdotes. I will miss his sense of humour. I will miss his optimism of life. And I will miss those challenging discussions we shared. It’s indeed a sad day for Bogaz.

Our sincere condolences to Marianne, Paul and the rest of the family. May Norman rest in eternal peace.

Sook & Adi

We echo everyone's thoughts and sentiments.

Our sincerest condolences to Norman's family.

Nicky & Jamie.

Very sorry indeed to hear this sad news.  Feel how little I can add to what has already been said.  Like many others, I never met Norman, but appreciated his work in making North Cyprus an easier place to stay and visit.  Thoughts are with the family.

Colin

Norman always called Cyprus his first home, and it was were his heart was.
He wanted to help and make better any aspects of life that he could.
He saw many of you as his family and good friends.
And he'll be deeply touched by all your wonderful comments.

We are in deep shock at the moment and appreciate all the support you have shown us.

Thank you,

Marianne & Paul.

WE WERE DEVASTATED TO HEAR THE BAD NEWS.

WE OFFER OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY.

NORMAN WAS A VERY LOVED AND RESPECTED MAN.

ALL HE WANTED TO DO WAS HELP PEOPLE.

MAY HE REST IN PEACE.

HE WILL BE MISSED GREATLY.

Norman, who we had been in our lives for the past two years, which was a person of great personality and such loving person. We are all shocked and very sad for the news of his death and may send our condolonces to his beloved wife and son.

We are deeply shock at the tragic loss of Norman. Our thoughts are with Paul & Marianne at this difficult time. Hammers, Kathy & Mehmet Izzet

My wife and I would like to add our sincere condolences.

Although we never met Norman, we looked forward to a time when our paths might cross and feel first hand the passion for life that clearly oozed from him in every posting he made.

Our thoughts are with you.

Sincerely - Bob & Sue Morrison (Sarcon Bogaz)

Norman was my best friend, our family friend, my golf partner, and business partner..We are shocked of his loss and cannot express our sadness of his death. He was a person full of life, a respectable businessman, a loving personality and a wonderful heart for me and my family. I would like to send my condolances to Marianne, Paul and all of his family and friends that love him.

We were all there at the opening of Seven and More and had great time with Norman and as usual, his loved ones were all there too. Me and Norman last spoke on saturday morning, half hour before his death  and talked about the opening of Seven and More and also made arrangements to play golf the very next day, sunday. We still can't believe that he is gone and left us without his wonderful self.

The road of Seven and More cafe will be renamed from Restaurant Street to NORMAN SİLVER STREET and we will put together another cafe with photographs and souvenir gifts  in memory of Norman which will be opened in two weeks time. He was a very important and a valuable person for all my family, my wife Ulas and my son Mevlutcan, who had gotten ill from the loss of our good friend.

We send out condolances to his wife Marianne and his son Paul and hope that he will rest in peace.

So shocked, saddened and upset by the news. My thoughts are with all the family and freinds of this wnderful man.

Paul

I was very saddened to hear this. For the last few weeks I have been reading this message board every day, looking forward to seeing people contributions. I showed my friends Nogs pictures and told many a people about his wonderful suggestions. It has excited me alot, I very much looked forward to buying Norman a drink and saying thank-you. It was pure magic some of the feeling I had when I knew I could see and do such things when I visit N Cyprus once more and enjoy the property we have bought.

Thanks once again, you have touched many and will be missed by more.

 Best wishes,

M 

I have never met Norman I ony knew him from this website but,  his input to this newsletter  always gave me a good read and the reaction of the people who were his friends,  he will be sadley missed

janet

Such sad news.Our sincere condolences to Norman's family.

Nog was always the first to give us advice and info regarding best places /

restaurants to visit in Bogaz and the surrounding area.

Just recently we enjoyed a walk around  Hilltop with Nog and Trev,

chatting away about anything & everything.

Bogaz will not be the same without him.

God Bless.    

Terri & Shaun

Im so shocked !!!   May i send my deepest sympathy to Marrianne, Paul & family for your sad loss.

So Sorry to hear of Norman's passing, He was always a joy to chat with over the garden fence, my thoughts are with you.

Ray and Tina 

We have just returned from Hilltop and was very very sad to hear that Norman had passed away.  

Like to offer our sincere condolences to Marianne Paul his family and friends.

Such a valued member of the community, will be surely missed by all.

Our last contact - he recommended we take a day on Morina to celebrate a special event, and of course he was right - we did indeed have a fabulous day. 

Debs & Paul  

My deepest heartfelt condolances at this extremely sad and shocking news.

 Although I never met Norman I felt I knew him quite well through correspondence and am devastated at this news. He was the powerhouse of this site and larger than life, and so full of energy, it's just not fair to happen to such a great guy, so young. I am a very similar age to Norman and I offer my sincerest condolances  to his lovely wife Marrianne and Son Paul, and any other family members. At least though he seemed to live such a full life and that's what really counts, but he will be very much missed by so many.

He was always there to help and advise anyone on anything , just a smashing guy.
