Longtime Clean Air Volunteer Norm Feldman Passes Away
Earlier this month, Clean Air Council lost an important member of our family. Our longtime volunteer Norm Feldman passed away on September 3, 2024 at the age of 101.
Norm volunteered at the Council from 1984 to early 2020. In those 36 years he became our resident indoor air quality expert. Norm truly was a frontline representative of the Council, spending hours talking to distressed members of the public asking about mold, radon, fumes, and other localized pollution they were dealing with in their homes.
Being a volunteer for so long, Norm truly became a member of the Council staff. He would attend staff meetings, sign birthday or going away cards, and make lasting impressions on his young colleagues, many times being right out of college. Lasting impressions were made on him as well, with senior staff members recalling how he would often ask how so-and-so past colleague was doing.
In 2017, we honored Norm with our first ever “Volunteer of the Year” award at our 50th Anniversary celebration. His years of service continue to be an inspiration for our staff and a great example of what you can achieve even after you retire.
Norm’s dedication to the Council and passion for the environment will be remembered. We’re all saddened by his passing, but are grateful for all his wisdom and work to ensure everyone could breathe clean air in their homes.
Please keep his family in your thoughts.
