Words can’t express how much of a blessing, and a privilege it was to be a part of Norm’s life. God surely knows, what and who we need in our lives. Being a caregiver to one person for 8years, you become like a part of the family. I would not have asked for a better family to be a part of. Norm I will surely miss you, and will still watch our shows on Saturdays, and once in a while I will stop and get a Freddy’s Custard. Thanks again for being such a blessing and for sharing your beautiful kids and there spouses and all your amazing grandkids with me. You will always have a place in my heart. Love Maxine Berry. 🤗🙏🏾💕
We here at Midian Shrine are so sorry to hear of the passing of Norm. He was such a nice gentleman, and he will be missed by his many friends here.
Thinking of you all.
Rest Norman, until you hear at dawn, the low, clear reveille of God. Thank you for your service to this nation.
What a lovely service. Such a great way to share with us. He will be missed, but we will all meet again. Our love to your family. Mike and Gayle Florio
Your dad was such a wonderful and classy person, I’ve always remembered how friendly and engaging he was even though we were just goofy kids. Thinking of all of you and the old days.
My fondest memory of Uncle Norm and Aunt Ellie was the summer their family joined my family in Brainerd, MN, for a “together vacation”. Connie was not yet on the scene so that plays into this story. We were goin’ a fishin’ – Uncle Norm had the boys (Ray, Roger and Wayne) in one boat, and my Dad had the girls (Roz, Nancy and me) in the other. The dads were in charge of the worms (yuck!) and we fished to our hearts content. Long Lake “gave up” 100 sunfish that day for our time. The dads spent the rest of the day cleaning fish. What a great memory! Our deepest sympathies to my cousins, Roz – Ray – Nancy – Connie. Love, cousin Carol and Ron
One of the finest most genuinely wonderful man I have ever known. Wherever he went, he brought joy with him, and passed it on to everyone in the room. ❤️❤️❤️
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
