Norman has been a family friend who was more family than anything. I will miss him and I know my family does too. My thoughts and prayers are with all his family and friends. I will never forget flying with him and Dad. They were practically brothers and I have so many fond memories of him.
God bless,

It is with a heavy heart, that I must say goodbye to Norm.
I had the opportunity to have Norm’s friendship for over 40 years.
One of the kindest gentleman I have ever known.
Norm was so dedicated to his passions, all the way back to his motor cross.
And of course his love of flying, where when he visited us in Las Vegas, he
would rent a plane while there. After he moved to Florida, and gave up his
plane, golf became his next inspiration. On the golf course 4 to 5 days a week,
and when he was home he was watching tournaments and self help lessons.
Even when he was sick, he played until no longer able. Now that’s dedication.
I feel so very blessed to have had such a beautiful friendship.
Rest now my friend, and know you are very much missed.
With much love
Doreen
