Robert Arthur Norris

Both Bob and I attended both Mountsfield Public School and London (ON) South Collegiate those many years ago. Bob was four years older than I and he was, as an outstanding football players, one of my boyhood heroes. We also attended Central Baptist Church in London where Bob would frequently praise the Lord in song. I am at once saddened to learn (in March, 2023) of his passing but rejoice in the knowledge that he is with our Lord and Saviour. My sincere condolences to Bob’s family.

I am so grateful to have met Pastor Bob. What an incredible example to so many. His legacy will never be extinguished because he represents too many wonderful people that I love. Bob was a great Husband, Father, Pastor, teacher, counselor and friend but I think his greatest gift was listening. He looked directly at you, he listened intently, literally hanging on to every word. He digested every word in love and thought before he responded with great wisdom. He made me want to be a better...

To all the family Ann and the boys , I loved and respected Pastor Bob for all our years of knowing him and all of you . My heartfelt sympathy and prayers are with you at this time . Take comfort in knowing he touched many lives in his journey here on this earth. Including mine . Always kind and thoughtful and I know that he’s probably already working for our Lord in heaven . One last thing . He sure was a snazzy dresser ! Love you all and God bless you and comfort you . Barbara Boyce ❤

"Pastor Norris" is how I always referred to this special man. He pastored what I considered to be the best church in Sumter, Harmony Church. As a young child, I sat captivated during his sermons. It was Pastor Norris´ passion for Jesus and his love of preaching that made Harmony so incredibly special. He built a sincere and loving community amongst us that has continued even decades later. To God be the glory for a beautiful gift, to all who knew him.

Mrs. Anne, Todd, Robbie, Jeff, Sullivan, Noah and all of Pastor Bob's grandchildren and little Chesley, I just want to express my profound heartache at the loss of Pastor Bob. I'm keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. I will always love Bob and each of you. He was not only my Pastor but friend who I will miss greatly until I see Jesus face to face and all of my family and friends who have gone home before me again!

Pastor Bob was my pastor at harmony church in Sumter from the time I was a baby until I was a young girl he was a great pastor and a great man of God

Dearest Bob, Our hearts are broken at your passing. I know you are with God. You were the best Pastor and friend. We will surely miss all of your knowledge and your teachings. We are praying for your darling wife Anne, your sons and all of your extended family. Go rest high on that mountain.

May God provide peace and strength to your family.

I have known and loved Bob for a very long time. My heartfelt sympathy to The Family
