Norman was my first mentor in the bar business. I was fortunate enough to work with Norman three different locations. His smile, his energy, his loving of life had him radiating happiness to all that was close enough to feel its warmth.

"Norm" was the "point" bartender at Lucifers--he established his reputation there-a personality that you never forget--hard to duplicate his people skills-will always remember the many laughs we had !!! Jack Brinson

I was saddened to hear of Norm's passing.
He was a good friend. I always enjoyed being around Norm. He had a wonderful sense of humor and knew how to have a good time. I remember fondly the many basketball games and baseball games we played together in school. It's hard to believe that the years have passed by so quickly. In a time of sorrow like this, I take comfort in my great Savior, Jesus Christ, who came to give His life, that we might have eternal life. I am so thankful that Jesus is my Peace and my Hope. My sympathy and prayers go out to Norm's family in this time of loss. I pray that you will feel God's comforting Presence surrounding you. God bless!

I will never forget this man. He was the cowardly lion as a human being and just an amazing man all around. It saddens me that he is no longer on this earth but from what I have heard I am glad he is no longer suffering. He is missed and definitely left many happy memories with his friends and family. RIP Norman!
