I was deeply saddened to hear of Norm´s passing. While I did not have the privilege of knowing him well, I vividly remember meeting him on January 25th, 2023, during one of our City of Merced town halls. That evening stands out to me because Norm and Shirley specifically sought me out as their councilmember.
In the brief time we spoke, I could see how deeply Norm cared for his community. Our conversation left a lasting impression, and I wish I had had the opportunity to know him better. After reading his obituary and reflecting on his life, it is clear that he made an extraordinary impact on those around him.
Please know that my thoughts are with the family during this time. I have attached a photo from that evening as a small reminder of the admiration and respect I felt when meeting both Norm and Shirley.

I had the pleasure of helping Norman many times with his technology at Best Buy´s Geek Squad. He was always a pleasure to work with and he was always willing to learn new things. I always enjoyed seeing him and just talking to him even if it wasn´t about his computer or cell phone. He will be truly missed.

Norm was a superlative gentleman and a Christian. He was involved in so many things - church, politics, sports, community, and especially his beloved family. I was blessed to have served with him on the executive board of the MCDCC and on behalf of many community efforts. As he was born on Leap Year Day, I joked with him this year that he had reached the "ripe old age" of 22! He sure packed a lot of living into those years! He and Shirley were truly vibrant gems that the community will certainly be lesser without.

I read with interest the obituary of your dad. He and Shirley were remarkable people and made a difference in the area. You have my condolences and you were fortunate to have him as a father, grandfather and part of your life. He was remarkable. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Kathleen Crookham

Norm will be missed greatly. He was a huge part of my life - after my dad passed away - Norms Brother. I will miss his guidance and love. And hundreds of phone calls yearly... He had a heart of gold.
My heart is shattered. And I will miss him every day.
Much love always. Thank you Norm for all the wonderful memories.

I have great memories of Norm and Shirley working together on various social causes. I was delighted whenever he subbed for me at Tenaya. Great man and couple.
