Norm, when I woke up this morning it was gloomy outside. As I sat here reading your obituary and reading the guest book from last year that was emailed to me, the sun broke through the clouds for a brief moment. I know that was you shining your light down on me. I miss and love you! Hugs and kisses to all your family and friends. Godspeed!!

Joanie:
I am so very sorry. Paul and I were shocked to hear of Norm's passing. He did so much beautiful work for us and was always a pleasure to talk to. You are right - we will remember him for years to come and the beautiful woodworking he did will always be a reminder. He will be in our prayers
