William Gerald Norwich peacefully passed away in his home on Sunday August 28th. He was born in Mesa, Arizona and was one of five children born to Viola Caponi and Walter Norwich, both deceased. At a very young age the family moved to Brevard County where he attended Cocoa High School and was a well known athlete.
“Billy” as he was often known as, went off to University of Florida where he earned a degree in Business and then was immediately drafted to Vietnam where he would serve in the army for three long years. Upon returning from Vietnam he decided to get his Degree in Law (JD) and eventually went on to become an attorney. He practiced in Cocoa Beach for almost 30 years.
While in law school, he met and married his forever best friend Mary “Pixie” Norwich and they continued this unique, loving relationship until his passing. Although they divorced in 1989, they
remained in each other’s lives daily and took care of each other as if they still were together. They had one child, Shelby Leigh Norwich, and she was the apple of his eye. Anyone who knew Billy Norwich knew that Shelby Leigh was the wind in his sail.
William is survived by his daughter, Shelby Leigh Norwich; former wife and best friend, Pixie Norwich; sister, Patricia Lemmons her husband Richard and son, Jason; brothers, Wallace Norwich his wife Vicki & niece and nephew, Valeria and Stas, Thomas Norwich and his family and brother, Wiley Norwich.
