In his finalInstagram post, the award-winning American television writer, film producer and activist shared a photo of himself with a harmonica in his hand alongside LaPook.

TheAll in the Familycreator also reshared a message from his grandson about the message of the song.
“Decisions, Decisions is now streaming wherever you get your music,” LaPook wrote. “This song is about my anxiety surrounding making decisions—big, small, and everything in between. How do you know you’re choosing correctly? Do you ever? It’s the part of adulthood I still can’t wrap my head around.”
He also gave a special shoutout to Lear, sharing, “What I DO know is that I chose an incredible producer:@stojomusic, incredible musicians:@mattydeitch@mike_lunoe@rojoned, an incredible mastering engineer:@mariatriana_mastering, and an incredible harmonica-wielding grandfather:@thenormanlear”
The Hollywood icon died on Tuesday, Dec. 5, at his home in Los Angeles of natural causes, according a release from his representatives. His family has also requested privacy at this time, and will hold a private service for immediate relatives, they said.
“Norman lived a life in awe of the world around him. He marveled at his cup of coffee every morning, the shape of the tree outside his window, and the sounds of beautiful music. But it was people—those he just met and those he knew for decades—who kept his mind and heart forever young,” the caption read. “As we celebrate his legacy and reflect on the next chapter of life without him, we would like to thank everyone for all the love and support.”
