Robert L. Norem, Jr., 75, of Plantation, passed away on Jan. 5, 2021. Rob gave it a good fight, but was just too tired. He is survived by his devoted wife of 52 years, Sherry (Robinson), his loving children, Tonya Clarkson (Bruce) and Gregory (Maria), his adoring grandchildren, Casey and Brett, his brother Nels (Susan), and countless family members and friends who were the recipients of his generous spirit. Rob grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, attending Stranahan High School. A Vietnam Veteran, he served proudly in the US Air Force. As a respected member of Ft. Lauderdale's marine industry, Rob owned and operated General Fabrics for over 50 years, working tirelessly to support his family. Due to Covid-19, there will be no service, but the family will hold a Celebration of Life at a later date.
