• Notes

  The Oregonian March 30, 2012 Norman Eddy Hascall II "Norm" passed away in his sleep Tuesday, March 27, 2012. He always worked to make the world around him a better place. Norm was born in Toledo, Ohio, on Aug. 10, 1926 to Norman F. Hascall and Leonora Strassburger. He lost the sight in his left eye from a staph infection at age 4, but went on to excel in both academics and athletics, winning scholarships to Phillips Andover and Yale University. At Yale, he majored in chemistry and was captain of the Yale wrestling team. Norm married Priscilla Lee Holliday on April 15, 1950. A succession of comfortable homes followed in Toledo and Defiance, Ohio, St. Charles and Geneva, Ill., and finally Portland. Successful in his business life, Norm was president of the Geneva School Board and played an important role on the Trinity Episcopal Church Vestry and with the NW Pilot Project in Portland. He is survived by his loving wife, Lee; sons, Mike, Jamie and Ned; his sister, Mary; grandchildren, Maia, Austin and Nash; and a host of admiring family and friends. Norm's funeral will be held Saturday, March 31, 2012, 2 p.m., at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 147 N.W. 19th, Portland, OR. _____ Yale class of '48 web site "Norm" Hascall's Class Book bio shows he resided in Jonathan Edwards, majored in chemistry and held the number of scholarships. In addition to being a student he was a Senior Aide at JE, a member of the Senior Counsel and the Undergraduate Athletic Association. He was also on the varsity wrestling team from 1944 through 1948, captained the team in his senior year and, obviously, lettered. He belonged to the Yale Key, Chi Psi and Berzelius. To Joe and to George Hastings this loss is especially painful. In many ways Norm was identified by wrestling where both Joe and George were teammates. He was excellent and everything a team captain should be. In our fiftieth reunion book, along with brief descriptions of a career in wood products manufacturing and the lifestyle change moving from the Midwest to Portland Oregon, he decried Yale's abandoning the sport which meant so much to him. We of '48 send our most sincere condolences to the Hascall family.
