On behalf of the volunteers, staff and members of the New Britain-Berlin YMCA, I offer all good thoughts to the family of Norman Erickson. As a former board president of the YMCA, Mr. Erickson left a legacy of volunteerism and philanthropy. In my role as CEO, I have heard stories of Mr. Erickson which all elicit the same phrase: "He was a true gentleman." He helped build a stronger YMCA, and we are forever in his debt for his gifts of time, talent, and treasure.

Sincerely,

Richard McCarty
Chief Executive Officer
New Britain-Berlin YMCA
