Age 84, passed away peacefully Wednesday December 30, 2015 under wonderful and compassionate care of St. Luke's Nursing Home in North Canton and Community Hospice. Born in Hutchinson, Kansas to the late John and Lizzie (Miller) Nisly. He was raised with 10 siblings with the Nisly family settling in Kansas, Oklahoma, and finally Ohio. He began his career as an X-ray technician in Cleveland, Ohio and then took his services to Los Angeles, California where he spent close to 40 years in his career. He was known to his peers as "Stormin' Norman" because of his speed, efficiency, and tenacity. He was an avid lover of people, the outdoors, animals, and books. He returned to Hartville, Ohio in 2007 where he could be spotted making daily visits to Quail Hollow State Park for a hike and the Lake Branch of Stark County Library for some newspaper review. He took much pride in his family, children, and grandchildren.
