Six Years Since The Passing Of Norman Sas

It’s hard to believe that it’s been six years since Electric Football inventor and former Tudor President Norman Sas passed away. The memory of the day is still incredibly fresh, even six years on.

This was the “before” time for us. We didn’t have a web page, or any social media presence at all. In addition, we didn’t have a book. The Unforgettable Buzz was just a “hope” for us. Something we hoped to accomplish. That we actually would get the book published in way that was accessible…it was just a dream.

But we knew that Norman believed in us, and in our vision for the project. Not only had he passed on to us a closet load of Tudor materials, he repeated his belief in our work when we finally had the opportunity to meet him in 2010 — a meeting that still seems like yesterday.

And we were blown away during our recent trip with the Sas family to Rochester to hear Norman’s daughters Wendy and Martha tell us they thought our project actually kept Norman going in his later years. We were completely floored and humbled to hear such a thing. We were just trying to write a book.

One thing we do know for sure — Norman’s spirit is present throughout the thousands of words that make up The Buzz. And it’s present in every one of us who love the game of Electric Football.
