Our family & community was hit hard after recieving the unfathamble and tragic news of the passing of the Norton family.
Bernadette and Joe were unbelievable supporters, board member, and all around loving family who treated Tyler’s teammates like their own. Tyler was a scholar, team player, friend, and overall amazing kid that we will remember and play in his honor forever.
It is times like this where it is on us to come together as a family and community. Tyler will be with us forever and we know that they are all looking down on us.

🖤Shine bright #4 you will never be forgotten”
“Forty-eight-year-old Joseph and 47-year-old Bernadette Norton died in the hospital. Twelve-year-old Tyler Norton never made it out of the burning home.”
“For those who have not already heard, we lost a member of the CP Family yesterday. Tyler Norton, his father Joseph and mother Bernadette passed away in a house fire early yesterday morning in Pottstown. Tyler had played at Springford, Limerick Panthers and the Canes and spent this past spring playing for the Nationals in our Majors division. Tyler was a dedicated teammate and friend and his parents were always keeping tabs on his current and former teammates to make sure they were doing well. We would like to express our sympathies to the Norton family.
The league has worked with Montgomery County to have grief counselors available for both players, coaches and parents tomorrow evening from 6:30 – 8:00 at the Rotary field. If anyone is struggling with this, especially the kids, please come tomorrow evening and take advantage of the resources provided. It is a difficult time for all and it helps to know that there are people out there who will listen.
We will also be holding a remembrance vigil tomorrow evening at dusk on the Rotary field (approx. 8:30 PM). We encourage all our families to attend to honor the family. There will be no formal agenda, just an opportunity to gather. Tyler’s #4 will be lit up on the scoreboards for the next 3 days.”
