Information for visitation and memorial service for Tom Norby of Carolinas Region
So as not get get lost in the other thread I wanted to start a new thread posting the OFFICIAL release from our region approved by PCA national regarding the incident and visitation/memorial information.
Carolinas Region statement release to it's members on 8 March 2010:
As you may have heard by now, there was an incident during our Driver’s Ed event yesterday at Carolina Motorsports Park that resulted in a fatality. The vehicle in which Tom Norby was instructing went off track and impacted a tree. Fire/Rescue and EMT responded immediately, however Tom died of his injuries at the scene.
Tom was a Carolinas Region PCA member and served as a Driver's Ed Instructor, having completed the PCA National Driver's Education Instructor training. He was 58.
This is a difficult time for everyone, especially Tom’s family. Please keep Tom's wife Paula and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
A visitation with the family will be held in Charlotte, NC at Harry and Bryant Co., 500 Providence Rd., on Wednesday, March 10, from 6 to 8 p.m. The memorial service will be held at Covenant Presbyterian Church, where he was a member, 1000 E. Morehead St., Charlotte, NC, on Thursday, March 11, at 4:30 p.m.

sad news
Thanks Dell.
I know this has been hard for you and your entire region; thanks for sharing.
Are there any concrete familial needs with which we can help?
While the news is indeed tragic; I'm hopeful good will be achieved and that we will become both better and safer organization and drivers.

Does anyone think setting up a scholarship fund for his kids (assuming he has some) would be a good idea.
Many in our club knew Tom and I'm sure we would be willing to do something...

Tom Norby
Tom Norby was a regular participant in our DE's and you wouldn't find a finer person. He was a real gentleman. We had gotten to know each other well over the past three years. We spent a lot of time talking about GT3's and many other aspects of DE and Porsches.
I know I express the sentiments of all of us in Potomac in expressing our condolences to Tom's family and friends.

I have been watching the threads regarding this tragic event but did not know who it was that passed away. I too am a Potomac member and share the sentiments expressed by Tuffy. Tom will be missed by many.
