Bruce Norris Obituary
Left behind to cherish his memory are his four children, daughters Melissa Norris, Annie Norris, Emma Norris and his son Nicholas Norris; grandchildren Atticus & Queston Armstrong, and Ava Norris; mother, Geraldine Norris; sister, Terry Bonnette, stepmother, Marlene Norris and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
He was preceded in death by his father, Alvi Daniel Norris and brother Douglas Alvi Norris.
He was loved by many in the city of Lorain, and he himself loved the city and community. The love and support he received from the community will always be remembered and appreciated. He loved music, guitars, jamming with his buddies, watching the sunset at the lake, riding his motorcycle, thrifting at the flea market, Saturday morning cartoons, and spending time with friends and family. May he rest in, and with peace. "Roll on Buddy"
A Celebration of Life will be held at the American Legion Post #30 in the near future.

Remembering Bruce when we met in 2019, he was my work buddy at the City of Lorain. I Enjoyed having snacks with him, shared his vienna sausages with hot sauce and crackers. peanut butter too.
My condolences to the family for thier loss

My Dad , My best friend and now my guardian angel. You taught me everything , if I could go back in time and choose another father I´d pick you every single time. You always made sure I was okay, you did what you had to do for our family and I´m thankful I had such a wonderful father in my life. Your shell is gone but your soul is free. I love you dad till we meet again.
