Kim was an independent Cinematographer and when he passed away this was written by one of his co-workers and friend:
In Memory of Kim Norwood – December 21, 2009 by A V.
It is with great pain and deep sadness I have to announce that Kim Norwood, my friend and Director of Photography for “The Chronic Pain Educational Documentary Series,” has passed away on Sunday, December 20th, 2009 due to liver metastatic cancer complications. Kim’s 22 year battle with hairy cell Leukemia and chronic pain combined with an Emmy Award (4) 35 year broadcasting career experience he shared with my valuable team made him an indispensable member of our team’s effort to educate on the issues related to chronic pain. He will be missed greatly.
During the past year that I have been fortunate to work and become friends with Kim he has been a driving force and constant source of inspiration. Kim’s life experience will serve as reminder of why ‘The Chronic Pain Educational Series” have started and how we have all discovered each other set on our mission to educate on the issues related to chronic pain.
Kim, thank you for your humanity, your friendship, your great work and most of all for being courageous, honest and authentic. Wherever you might be at I wish you are cancer and pain free, safe, loved and pampered with joy, fulfillment and pleasure should you wish toying with the best camera your mind can conceive, your hands can operate and your eyes can record through. Thank you and have a good trip.
Kim was survived by family, siblings, his father, a few friends, colleagues, the numerous people that treated him over the years, the millions that struggle to battle cancer and chronic pain day after day and the many millions around the world who have witnessed countless hours of 4 different Olympic events coverage through his eyes and ears. As an independent Cinematographer Kim had made an equal contribution and his work will be seen in 2010 through “The Chronic Pain Educational Documentary Series,” and his spirit will live on. My sympathies go to his family members, friends and everyone Kim’s life has touched.
With Gratitude
Charalambos Kesta, Executive Producer/Director, “The Chronic Pain Educational Documentary Series”
