Norval was absolutely the best! He took care of us at our family business, Olson Plumbing & Heating Co. for decades. Whether at IGP or General Air, Norval took care of business and of us. He would stop by the shop every week to check on us and make sure everything was going the way it should. We missed seeing him after he retired.....his kind of genuine customer care is a thing of the past.
RIP Norval and prayers for the Hurst family.

Norv and I kept in touch as Sharon will tell you. My Kids grew up with him. He always cracked them up. I'll miss you. God Bless his soul.Much love,Kathy

Norval was the ultimate customer advocate. He certainly lived by the motto - If
you take care of the customer, the customer will take care of you. Norval was genuine, never knew a stranger, and always had that great positive attitude. I will miss the warm smile, his firm handshake and his often query. Do you remember--------?

Please join us for a memorial service April 19th, 2024, 2p at the Evergreen Cemetery Chapel on the Evergreen Cemetery grounds 1005 Hancock Expressway Colorado Springs, CO 80903.

Sharon and family, I am so very saddened to hear of Norval's passing. I worked with Norval at IGP and he was such a nice person and always such a happy guy! My heart goes out to you.

Prayers are with the entire family, and the thoughts are muddled right now, however the memories will last forever. The good times when we all would go to Cripple Creek for the day, and a good meal, and sharing our experiences there, 9 times out of 10 Norv was the big winner. The past
30 Thanksgivings we were privileged to be a part of the Hurst family for the big meal, and of course the football games. In return we were very fortunate to have Norv & Sharon to our place in the country for 2 BBQs a year and the good times continued to roll, celebrations of Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and joint birthdays made it all the more special. Norv was the brother I never had and Sharon has been my best friend for all these years. My heart goes out to Sharon, Shannon, Bryan, and Samantha, and we are always here for you, and hope to be able to continue the special times we have shared over the years, with an empty chair at the table for Norv, who will always be with us all in spirit.

Norval was a great people person. I think he knew everyone that worked at every shop in town and he liked to keep track of folks, making sure they were okay. He truly loved his work and was a staunch advocate for his customers, sometimes putting him at odds with his boss. Norval would ask me if I remembered someone from when we worked together at IGP and then he would proceed to tell me the latest story about them.
His heart was filled with kindness.
He will be missed.

I had the pleasure of working very closely with Norval around 2003 when he joined our family business.

Norval was loved by his customers because there wasn't a single thing he wouldn't do to serve them. I can remember that he used to say that he got more done before sunlight (o-dark-thirty) than most salespeople did in an entire day, which was 100% true!

It was a pleasure and honor to work alongside Norval. My deepest condolences to the Hurst family.

Normal and I first met 47 years ago, he was the best welding supply rep ever. If he changed companies so did I. He was a man that was good to his word. When Norval retired from General Air so did great customer service that has never been replaced. Rest in peace knowing you were our best friend throughout the welding community!!

Our deepest sympathies at the passing of Norv. He was my best friend and was one of the finest men I have ever met. You will be missed old friend.

Saddened to learn of Norval´s passing and wishing his family the best as they cherish his memory. He always spoke fondly of his family and we all know how much he cared for you all.

Some of us had the pleasure of working with Norval throughout the years and many of us learned from him how to best serve our customers by modeling his actions. He will always be a legend in the Colorado Springs welding supply business, his relationships with his customers were genuine and vast.

From this old coworker and from many Colorado Springs business folks: Norval, you will be missed.

Sharon you and your sweet family are in my heart and prayers! NorCal was an awesome human being and lived by many as are you

Deepest Sympathy´s
Sharon and family. So sorry for your loss. Norval will be missed by many friends, coworkers, customers, competitors, and just so many acquaintances that he simply made their day nicer. He was always one to look up to and make our lives happier to just know him. Our prayers are with you. Mike Decker

Norval would do anything for anyone. He loved his family and there wasn't a more loyal friend. Prayers to his family.

Sharon and family - We are sending our love and condolences. We loved Norv and we love you! May his memory be a blessing to you

Sharon, I'm so sorry for your loss. Norval was a constant source of strength and helpfulness for you and your life. Loss is painful and grief is the natural out poring of that pain. Don't hesitate to ask for what you need from me and others in your life. Support is worth the openness. Please let yourself be supported by your friends and family when you are ready.

Loretta As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Norval was a good friend and will be missed. Much love to the family, you are in our thoughts.

Norval was a very good co-worker and was always willing to help me when we worked together. He will be missed.

Our deepest condolences and sympathy.

Without a doubt one of the greatest guys I have ever met! Always willing to help anyone in need. His caring nature and pleasant conversation will truly be missed.

My dad was my knight in shining armor. He came to my rescure more times than I can count -or deserved. He loved us all without fail and would have given us the shirt off his back if we needed it. He was dearly loved by all his friends and family; he will be sorely missed.
