OBITUARIES LAWRENCE MARC CARDON VIRGINIA BEACH—Lawrence Marc Cardon, peacefully passed on April 18, surrounded by his loving family. Larry is survived by his wife, Lucy, who never left his side, his son David and wife, Elyse, his daughter Rebecca and fiancée Patrick, his brother Richard, his brother Reid and his wife Cheri, his four grandchildren, Bella, Sylvie, Avi, and Flora and nieces, nephews, and cousins around the country. He was predeceased by his brother Wayne, of blessed memory, and his wife JoAnn Cardon-Glass. Larry was born in Brooklyn, New York on April 3, 1943, to his loving parents Leon and Selma Cardon, of blessed memory, who often referred to him as “Larry Boy.” At the age of 4, the family relocated to Portsmouth, Va., where they became leaders in the Jewish community. He attended Churchland High School and the University of Virginia. (Go Hoos!) After graduating, he returned home to work in the family business, Star Band Manufacturing Company. During
this time, he met the love of his life, Lucy, and with her encouragement, he attended University of Richmond Law School. Eventually, he found his way to The Decker Law Firm, where he practiced traffic and criminal law for over 30 years. His passion for people brought thousands of clients, police, judges, and fellow attorneys into his circle of friends, and he always said he never worked a day in his life. Larry had the gift of making everyone feel important. To know him was to love him. If you spent a minute with Larry, you’ve seen the wallet photo, and you know he was beyond proud of his early six-pack. He found the gym after being picked on as a scrawny teenager. It became his home away from home—his happy place. He went on to compete, breaking many world records. One of his proudest moments was appearing with his daughter on Good Morning America as world record bench press holders. He was truly a legend. Donations may be made to Strelitz International Academy or your charity of choice.

NORMA FOX VIRGINIA BEACH—Norma Fox, 88, passed away peacefully March 31, 2022. Mrs. Fox was born August 11, 1933 to James and Ellen Edelin in Dorsey, Maryland. Norma’s life was extraordinary to say the least. Norma’s life reads like a Danielle Steele novel. She was an orphan and raised by different foster families as a child. Her height and thin build led her into modeling, but not until she was 28 and already an established career woman and mother. Fashion played an important role in Norma’s life. She was the fashion consultant for the Arrow Shirt Co. and would often say she was responsible for “getting men out of plain white shirts.” Norma founded Glamour Modeling and Talent Ltd. Her agency kept her busy around the clock. She taught the modeling courses and would coach models and actors for commercials, shows, and television and print work. Norma, along with her beloved husband Buddy Fox, found that traveling helped to rejuvenate her mind and body. She climbed the Great Wall of China, hitchhiked through Russia, tracked gorillas in Africa, ridden camels across the Egyptian desert, rode a mule to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and camped in the Serengeti as she tracked lions on safari. Norma would often say “I never see the negative side of things or people. That has helped me in business and traveling the world” When Norma and Buddy weren’t traveling you could find them in their Great Neck home with the ones they love. Norma will always be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. She will be deeply missed. Left to cherish her memory is her son Bradley Shaw, her sister Cathy Kendhammer, four grandchildren Chelsea Shaw, Brittany Franchebois, Michael Amos, Lori Amos, six great-grandchildren, two great great-grandchildren, and numerous extended family members and
friends. Norma was very specific that she did not want a funeral service or flowers. She loved animals, so the only thing she asked was to be remembered by a memorial donation made to Hope For Life Rescue at www.hopeforliferescue.com noting “in memory of Norma Fox.”
