Thomas "Tom" Franklin Norris, a lifelong Bloomington resident, passed away unexpectedly the morning of Wednesday April 27th 2022. Tom was a Lincoln High graduate class of 1975 and worked most of his life as a forklift operator for Weekes Forest Products. He leaves behind his wife (Barbara), and 2 children, Matt (Jannae) and Sarah. Tom was a loving husband, fierce father, dedicated friend, and loyal employee. The love, kindness and compassion Tom showed us all was truly second to none. He enjoyed most spending time with family at the cabin, watching Gopher sports, adventuring with Barb, and socializing with his lifelong friends. Anyone who knew Tom would remember and recognize his wonderful sense of humor and his genuine, emanating laugh. His absence from our lives and this earth will truly be missed but we will forever hold him in our hearts and memories. In lieu of flowers, please see the go fund me page we have created to help support Barb through this difficult time. https://gofund.me/a6442b30
Service will be 1PM, Friday, May 6th with visitation one hour prior at:
