On behalf of the Management & Members of Power Stars Steel Orchestra and by extension the St. James/Fort George community, please allow me to express our deepest regrets for the George and Marshall family's beloved loss..Norris George.
I had the opportunity to closely interact with Norris quite a few times over my period in Ann Arbor through Mr. Hugh Borde of Trinidad Tripoli; Mr. Robert Valentine, Dector Scott & Linton 'POPS' Harper & Joseph Allen & the late Steven Springer formerly of Niteflight; Mr. Michael Kerhanan et al of 21st Century; Steel Orchestras and others to numerous to mention.His demeanor was always cordial, professional and showing a general sense of concern in all pan folk, particularly those like Power Stars that lost their way, in assisting to getting us back on track.
May your bereaved family and all members of Ann Arbor/Detroit musicians comunity, find comfort and solace in the great work which he did to allow orchestras like ours to make it. To the triumphant strains of this global cultural icon, onward to Valhalla, may Norris George's soul eternally rest in peace.
one of my good friend Norris's favorite comedians....I will miss him so dearly.....quoting Dr. Batson's comments Norris George was a dedicated pioneer of the steel band movement. He quietly made the music come to life. I am honored to have shared many musical moments with him and to have learnt from him. May he rest in peace."
Condolences to the George family I knew Norris very well last spoke with him two weeks ago at Hugh Bordes House in Michigan. R.I.P Norris God Bless
On behalf of the Headley Family, I would like to extend my sympathy to the Family, relatives, and friends of

Condolences from My Family To the Relatives and Family of Norris, I was a member of Esso Tripoli aka. Trinidad Tripoli, The Original Trinidad Tripoli, Must reiterate The First Trinidad Tripoli, and I was reintroduced to Trinidad and Tobago in 1972, living in Norris House in Tunapuna, I still live in Tunapuna. With this you know I could probably write a book about this gentle spirit. But just to link some souls that has passed whit a little history please permit me to say, "He was the last serving member of the double tenor section who left Trinidad and Tobago in 1967 with Esso Tripoli, and they were in order of 1 to 4, Raymond Phipps, Derick Timothy, Gerald Logie, and now Norris George, May their souls rest in peace, I Thank God for them being in my life, I have only joyous memories of them, with them, and they live on in Me and in Mines.
Condolences to the George family, from the Findlay family in Jacksonville, Florida. He visited me once a year every January and I'll miss his quiet spirit.

Condolences to the entire George family. Norris will surely be missed by the members of 21st Century Steelband and especially so around Miami Carnival. May his soul rest in peace.
