Norman Ralph Lund, 88, of Akron, passed away on November 11, 2023. A lifelong resident of Akron, he was born on October 7, 1935 to the late Ralph and Gertrude {Titchworth} Lund.

In addition to his parents, Norm was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Shirley in 2019, their son, Ralph in 2008, dearly loved in-laws Bob Cook, Eugene, George Jr. and Donald Miller, dear friends Sam Holvey, Gene Voytek, Jim Snyder and Larry Yeich.

Norm is survived by his loving children Norma Jean (Roger) Linder, Lisa (Terik) Hartz, Julie (Paul) Taylor and Mark Lund; grandchildren Kat (Izzy), Ryan (Amanda), Alexander, Amy (Ethan), Paul; great-grandchildren Isabella, Bo, Ziggy, Atti and Theo; sister Darleen Cook; sisters-in-law Juanita Albus, Vivian Cartmill, Eileen and Gayle Miller; many nieces, nephews, extended family members and dear friends, especially Vicki Rager.

Norm was devoted to his family, working two jobs at a time to make sure they were cared for. At 47, he retired from the printing department at Goodyear, with 30 years of service. He also owned and operated his own printing companies, Ellet Graphic Arts with friends/partners Richard Hardy and Joel Marcinko, and Lund Printing, for a combined 50 years. His customers truly became his friends. Norm had a heart of gold, and wag generous to a fault. He would do anything for anyone.

When Norm sold the family home and business, he moved "down home," to his son Ralph's place in southern Ohio, which he absolutely loved.

Norm's family would like to thank the staff at Arbors at Stow and Summa Hospice for their genuine, compassionate care of Norm in his final months.

Per Norm's wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will occur at a later date "down home" and potentially a local memorial service. Please contact the family for further information. In lieu of flowers, donations Norm's memory are suggested to your favorite animal shelter, or a charity of your choice.
