OBITUARIES
OF BLESSED MEMORY

NORMAN I. 
BROCK, 94, died 
suddenly Oct. 17, 
2024. 
He was born in 
Cleveland to Sol and 
Leona Brock. An only child, 
Norman grew up in Detroit and 
lived much of his adult life there. 
He was a graduate of the 
University of Michigan and 
its law school. He spent his 
entire professional career as a 
trust officer — the first who 
was Jewish — at the National 
Bank of Detroit, where he was 
much valued as a sage adviser to 
younger bankers. 
After settling his affairs in 
Detroit, Norman realized his 
lifelong dream: He retired to 
Manhattan’s East Side and 
became a New Yorker. Norman 
was a discerning collector of 
graphic art, an expert balcony 
gardener and an opera lover. He 
was a wise and generous friend 
and a genial host, who possessed 
the secret to the perfect gin-and-
tonic.
Norman has left his friends 
with many fond and happy 
memories. Burial will be private. 
Memorial tributes may be made 
to Teatro Nuovo.

KENNETH DROZ, 
67, of Southfield, died 
Oct. 20, 2024. 
He is survived by 
his brothers, Gary 
Droz and Alan Droz.
 He was the devoted son of 
the late Julius Droz and the late 
Dorothy Droz Mills.
Interment was at Clover Hill 
Park Cemetery. Contributions 
may be made to a charity of one’s 
choice. Arrangements by Ira 
Kaufman Chapel.
