A Scout leads, as his dying father would have wanted - The Boston Globe

Monday, December 12, 2016

She said her big brother was a friend to everyone. He had a special bond with his wife.“They had a mutual love of the outdoors and of nature and wildlife,” said Agarwal, who lives in San Mateo, Calif. “They were soul mates and kindred spirits, and my heart aches for my sister-in-law.”James Norton, 59, lived with his family on a 13-acre plot of land in Acton that is off the grid.It is there that his ashes will be spread, as his grandparents’ were.“He lived for the Scout oath and law,” David Norton said. “Everything he did was an embodiment of those two things. I think his legacy is heavily impacted and imprinted on all the Scouts in the troop.”Bettina Norton envisions her grandson picking up his father’s mantle: taking care of the family’s property and embracing the wilderness. James Norton loved to fix broken equipment, like the tractor he fixed up and gave to his mother for Christmas one year.Norton served as a Cub Scout leader with Cub Scout Pack 32 Acton from 2005 to 2010, according to Tom Walsh, troop committee chairman for Troop 1.“Through his laughter, sense of humor, and desire to make Scouting fun, James showed the Scouts that anything was possible,” Walsh wrote in an e-mail.Norton was a ubiquitous presence in Acton, a member of The Acton Minutemen, who represent the town in parades, battle reenactments, and civic events.“He was a great guy,” said Steve Crosby, 53, and captain of The Acton Minutemen. “Like a beacon of light. Not afraid to go and talk to anybody whether he knew them or not. That’s what drew James to our unit and why we were drawn to him.”Material from the Associated Press and Globe correspondent Felicia Gans contributed to this report.
