Norman was a member of the "The Gang of 4", a group of top racquetball players at Racquetball of Mobile in the early 1980's: Norman Cox, Bobby Carrigan, Ken Jordan, and Roy Daigle.

Our prayers are with you Marilyn and your family. Good Speed Norman.

Norman was a great friend and a genuinely great guy.

A great American,he will be missed.
