Copied from Sebringfans.com
"I found out earlier that Norm Koury "Itsadryrain" is in the ICU at St. Luke's Hospital Jacksonville. He is having serious issues with both his liver and renal system and was admitted yesterday evening. He is stable at this point and the staff is awaiting the results of a battery of tests to figure out a course of action. His sister is on her way from Jersey and should arrive this evening, I don't have anything else but will update this thread as info becomes available.
Stay strong Norm, you can make it through this! "
Norm was the person that first invited me into Turn 10, so stay strong buddy, Turn 10 won't be the same without you. Get well soon.
Regards
Chris

From Facebook Updates from facebook:
Sandra Laramy: Norm is on life-support. If he codes again his sister will discontinue.
Lee Self: Norm is very bad. slipped into a coma last night. I'm on my way up to Jax -Lee
Lee Self: This is Jerri. Lee is on his way to Jacksonville. By all indications Norm will be moving on by the end of the day. I wanted everyone to have a chance to send their love into the ether while he is still with us. Friends will be with him. You can call me, I'm home, holding down the fort. Sigh not good at all, just a matter of time  I'm sure everyone thoughts are with him, familey and friends |

Hope people don't mind me posting this on here, but if it helps to put a face to the name for those that haven't met such a colourful character. Its only a matter of time now before Norm is watching the greats racing in the sky.  We will have to make Sebring a celebration of his life rather than be sad. |

Poor Norm, I'm both shocked and saddened by this. I had a long and wide ranging, almost random, converstaion with him at Sebring last year. We were both crying with laughter at the end.

Just read a message from Lee saying that he called the hospital this morning and Norm had passed away at 1am EST.
RIP my friend!

RIP Norm, you were I friend that I will never forget, as Bob U has said, Turn 10 will not be the same without you, but we will certainly have a big party to celebrate your life on the Thursday night at Sebring and see you off in a way that you would approve of. Enjoy the big race in the sky. |
