Norm,

You are already severely missed. Your kindness will always resonate in my heart. I hope you are finally feeling healthy. Until we meet again,

All my love,

Cate (Timmons) Levy

Rest in peace, Norm, and thank you for the wonderful legacy you left behind--through your coaching, painting, and friendship. We will miss you.

Along with being a great coach, Norm was a fabulous neighbor in Cobbham (Athens). I had the privilege of living next door to Norm and Charlene for twenty years, where I remain in awe of the wonderful marriage they had. What a fine man he was in every sense of the word. He will be missed in the neighborhood for many years to come. I sure hope Pudge was waiting for him with a wagging tail.

My condolences to the family members and friends. I hope the words of Hosea 13:14 brings comfort to all doing this time of loss. Sincerely, YR

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Coach Olson's impact on me at age 67 is still evident. He was a man dedicated to hard work and team over individual. I had the privildegd of visiting him twice in his Athens home and found he never lost that competitive spirt. My sincere condolences to all of his family, I know he will be deeply missed.
