Norman Larson

My dad Nathan Lindquist must have known Norm. sorry that I never met him. My best to his family and wishing God's comfort in this time of saying farewell.

Norm was an amazing guy. He had a big heart and enjoyed all things that were romantic and beautiful. I met Norm in 1992 at the age of 23, and he allowed me the opportunity to open a business that thrived for 13 years in one of his store fronts. With his big heart he gave me the opportunity to start my own business with $300 in my bank account. It became profitable on day two, and lasted strong for 13 years until we sold the business. Thank you Norm. Your big heart,smile and laugh will be missed.

Heartfelt condolences are extended to your family at this difficult time. Seek the love and support God provides to help you cope during this time - Psalms 29:11

His excitement at his Haight home being accepted as a San Francisco landmark was as infectious as his smile. I had the pleasure of being given a personal tour some time ago. What fun to share his excitement of all he'd done with his home.
The first time I saw Norm, I thought he was one of the Smith...

I've recently purchased a storefront across the street. The space is smaller but it is on the sunny side of the street.
This was a game changer for me with a 5 year old daughter& a wife.
I'll miss most about Norman is chatting as he pruned the vine above the store windows or how important it was to be...
