Norman was a great influence on me and the reason I became a Police Officer. He taught me about life balance. He treated me as an adult from the early days which made me aspire to become the best I could be and always give back to the community in which you derive your living. RIP Sir we have your 6.

Quite simply, the finest man I've ever known. I'm blessed to have been his daughter-in-law for over 30 years.
When my own father passed, Norman said to me, you still have me, I'll be your Dad and he was, in every way.
His, was a life well lived.

I will always remember Uncle Norman for his kind and gentle ways with which he interacted with family, friends, and community. I'll never forget days spent at Martin's Beach and weekends in Covelo on the Eel River Ranch and 10 Moore Acres. You were such a sweet man, Uncle Norm. Rest in Peace. I will always remember you with a warm heart.
