Not sure what to say?

Dear Eileen and family,
It was with great sorrow that I learned about Norm's passing. He was a unique and giving individual and such a great volunteer at God's Kitchen.
Norm not only coordinated routes for Meals on Wheels, but encouraged others to volunteer and learn routes so they could be subs like he was.
Norm will be greatly missed.
I am so sorry for your loss.

It's sad to hear of Norm's passing. We've been out of town, so we didn't know until we got back. We're neighbors from across the street on Gorham drive, and sometimes went to Mass at IHM. We'll always remember Norm as our great neighbor, always with a great story about the goings-on of the neihborhood. We'll miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kohmescher family. May he rest in peace. God bless.

Norm was a great guy and we already miss not seeing him in the back of church on Sunday mornings at IHM. He greeted everyone and made people feel welcome and at home. We are happy that he is truly home now in heaven. But it won't be the same at IHM without him!

We are so sorry for your loss.

Jim, Kathy, Eric, Justin and Chad, I'm so sorry for your loss of such a wonderful Father and Grandfather...I always got the biggest kick out of Norm. Such a fun, playful guy with that Heart of Gold. It was a pleasure and Honor to know him...My thoughts and prayers are with you, Pam

Jim & Kathy,
My thoughts are with you on this sad day. He was a great guy. I always enjoyed him. See you soon.

Eric

Norm was the first person we met at IHM when we moved here almost 2 years ago. We tried to sneak in late to 6:30 mass and he recognized immediately that we were new and introduced himself. After that we saw him at every mass handing out bulletins and serving as an usher until he became sick. His devotion to the church and the children at IHM school was inspiring. He is already missed.

Jim,Kathy and Family
you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

For many years, there's been a distnct lack of grandparents in our family.
Grandpa and Grandma Kohmescher have served as wonderful rolemodels not only for their own grandchildren, but fulfilled this role for my children as well. We'll fondly remember the many years of memories Norm has left behind. The holidays just won't be the same without Grandpa Norm!
With love to all,
Karen Emaus

We are so sorry for your loss. Norm was one of the first people we met when we moved into our home in EGR. He was always such a gentleman and a very nice person to know. He would stop by Bruce's office to chat and pass the time of day, which was always a pleasure. He will be missed.
