Condolences
Norm and I played a number of tennis tournaments as doubles partners many years ago. I never had a better time than when playing with Norm. He brought a sense of sportsmanship and humor to the court. Sometimes after work at RRD I’d stop by to chat. We’d have a beer in his garage and tell stories and joke around. I’m going to miss this kind man. He was a class act, and I always enjoyed my time around him. I’m a better person for having known you, Norm.
Dear Cathy, JoAnne, Polly, Brenda, and Marilyn and families,
We are all so sorry to hear of your loss, and just know how much we all loved him. He was such a wonderful guy, always a smile, and so much fun. I have so many wonderful memories of him and will always remember him with a smile and love. We love you all and may God give you the comfort and strength at this difficult time.
Love,
Pie and family
Norm was such a huge part of our Arizona family and a rock to my Mom (Marilyn Berberick). He loved it out here in AZ. He was a sun worshipper. We will miss him greatly and he will always remain in our hearts. Thumbs up has a whole new meaning because of Norm. We loved that sweet sweet man!
Really sorry Cathy to hear of your father’s passing. I am always there if you need anything from afar! You will see him again, God Bless!
Polly and Family, Know we are praying for all of you during this time of your loss. Lean on the Lord for His strength.
In God’s Love,
