Normand had a smile to die for 🥰🥰
Hello Darling!
Normand La Chance, born on October 4, 1969, passed away on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2024, at the young age of 55. It is fitting that he left us on a day dedicated to gratitude, as we hold immense thankfulness for the time we shared with him.
A proud native of Riverside, New Jersey, Normand was a remarkable individual who excelled in every aspect of life. As a varsity runner, scholar, actor, and musician during his school years, he was a true renaissance man. His yearbook photo, adorned with a multitude of activities, could have filled a novel. Normand was not confined to a single group; instead, he embraced friendships across all circles, embodying a spirit of inclusivity and joy. He was the epitome of style, taking pride in curating the perfect outfit for every occasion, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew him.
After high school, Normand brought his talents to the Surf Flight Theater before attending Rutgers University. There, he earned a full scholarship and made history as the only graduate in his class to receive three undergraduate degrees in just four years. He continued his academic journey at Fordham University, earning his Master’s in Business Administration. His ambition led him to New York City, where he began his career at Ralph Lauren, answering the phone for the iconic brand. He later joined Pfizer, where his exceptional skills were quickly recognized, leading to promotions and a fulfilling career.
Normand’s adventurous spirit took him to California, where he made many friends and enjoyed life to the fullest. He cherished his time at the Russian River, went wine tasting, and traveled to Puerto Vallarta with his California friend group. His hard work at various pharmaceutical companies led him to his dream job at Gilead, where he was particularly proud of his contributions to the launch of seven product lines. Residing in the picturesque Foster City, he enjoyed the serenity of lake views and the simple pleasure of feeding ducks and their young.

Through the Years
Normand was always the life of the party. He will be missed deeply 😘
For my friend.
We hit it off the first time we met. I remember it like it was yesterday - at the 3rd Ave office. You in a light blue shirt and marvelous pink tie. Strikingly handsome and with a big smile. I had just started there. You laughed at my silly jokes (my gosh, I can still hear your laugh - that marvelous laugh) and made me feel very welcome. We were friends since that day. I will keep that laugh with me.
