So sorry to hear of norms passing. Our prayers are with the family. May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding fill your hearts. Norm was a great guy. I enjoyed hunting with him in Colorado. It was a great day when he got a nice bull elk. Those are the moments friendships are made. Rest in peace my friend.

We are so sorry for your loss. May God bring you comfort at this difficult time.

Norm loved the color of my Fairlane and used it on the truck. So glad that he got to enjoy his dream - one sharp truck! Rest in peace.

I had the pleasure of taking Norm for rides in his grandfathers 69 Ford. Norm took great pride in fixing this truck up and it looks great. Anyone who knew Norm knew that you had to be on your game. Norm had a quick wit and sense of humor that would always draw a laugh from anyone around. Even after Norm lost the ability to speak, his sense of humor remained. On one of our trips in the truck we drove down Main street. I asked if he wanted to go back down and he nodded yes. Before the next trip down Main, Norm rolled down the windows and cranked up the music to "Bad to the bone." I couldn't help but laugh. Norm gave a smile and a thumbs up.
