"Norm Always said to his wife Melissa on his way
out the door, "Kiss me, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone" |
|
| They went on there first date June 16, 1982, but didn't marry until
December 31, 1986 And were together from June 16, 1982, to June 6, 2009, (10 days shy of
27 years) when he left unexpectedly. |

| From Melissa :> Norm was tough on the outside but
loving and gentle on the inside. He had the ability to fix anything. He was
handsome and handy so it was funny for us to watch that stupid Red Green show, at the
end of that show Red Green always said, "If a girl doesn't find you handsome, she
should at least find you handy." He liked to buy new toys not only
for himself but also to help others to buy new toys: motorcycles, cars, TV's,
cameras...he enjoyed helping others get a good deal as much as he liked buying them for
himself. So many people asked Norm to help them get a new motorcycle; I was proud of
him. He was funny, grumpy, a gentleman but yet not...he could call girls bitches and
make them feel special and make them laugh instead of offending or insulting them. |
| Norm wanted to move to South Dakota and build a campground. He was
two years away from retiring. |
| His parents past away in the late 80's, he had a brother that pasted away
June 19, 2006, who was also only 57 or 58 years old. He also lost a brother on
March 13, 2009, who was about 68 years old. |
| From all your family
& friends you are sadly missed and forever will be !!! |
