Read MoreNorman and I used to share a cup of coffee at a coffee bar somewhere on McKinney back in the 1980's. His smile, upbeat conversation was always a wonderful way to start those days.
That was a lifetime ago for me and I truly miss his sharp mind, keen wit and friendship.
May he always rest in peace.

I remember in the early 80's as a member of Willow Bend Polo and Hunt Club, Norman took time out of his busy day to introduce me his favorite polo pony (Shower) He loved that horse and I enjoyed the time I spent with him.

Norman was a man of many talents. He will always be remembered. As we continue to reflect on his life may the thoughts found at Revelation 21:3,4 bring comfort and peace to his family and friends.

Cindy and Brenda,
We remember your dad fondly. He was a wonderful neighbor and a generous man. You come from good stock --Maureen was a true lady and your father was a marvel of energy. Now that he is with God, he may be seeing what a lasting and true mansion looks like! What a comforting thought.
Blessings,

As a young manager at Mr. Brinker's Bachman Lake location in the 70's, I saw a very stately man standing at my salid bar just starring. I introduced myself and was taken back when he told me who he was. For the next 30 minutes he talked to me about lighting, showing me difference an adjustment can make. The next 30 minutes he talked business. He gave me the formula that evening---I've used it everywhere I've gone. It works each and everytime. God Bless Norman Brinker and thanks for...
