Grandpa found joy in the simplest moments. I will always remember fishing beside him, learning patience as we waited for the fish to bite. He loved games, a good laugh, and the smile of a pretty girl. The time I shared with him and the love he gave will always remain in my heart.
If you were lucky enough to know him, then you know he made a lasting impression on your life. ❤️
So sorry for your loss he was a great man, happy yo know him.

Sending everyone condolences. Your dad was a great man and I will never forget all of the good times growing up. He was so cool to hang around with and your mom too. Best memories ever in my heart of growing up with your family.
Norman was a wonderful sweet loving father in law and grandpa. So sorry to all for the family’s loss. 💔🙏❤️
Big hugs to all the family. I’ve known your dad for, what 35 years. He will be missed by many.
I remember Norm when I was a little kid. He was such a kind and wonderful man. Sorry fir your loss
Love and prayers are with you during this difficult time. He will be missed, always was a fun time when he was around. I hope he is fishing with everyone and he has no more pain.
So sorry to hear of your loss.
When I was a kid I use to go to my grandparents house stay the night there have fun then we end up watching golden girls and grandpa wanted to watch this old house. Those were the people who brought Jesus and God in my life. My grandpa was a part of the church for a long time, we went to sunday school and vacation Bible school alot of time with them when younger. Just glad he’s not suffering anymore and he’s passed on to be with his loved ones. Rest in peace Grandpa and thank you to the family who seen him to the end.
Uncle Norman was a great guy.
I remember when he was a clown. He would show me his costume, makeup, and how to make balloon animals. I was fascinated how he could make so many different animals and so fast.
You will be missed by many uncle Norman, but I know you are at peace now.
I’ve finished life’s chores assigned to me,
So put me on a boat headed out to sea.
Please send along my fishing pole
For I’ve been invited to the fishin’ hole.
Where every day is a day to fish,
To fill your heart with every wish.
Don’t worry, or feel sad for me,
I’m fishin’ with the Master of the sea.
We will miss each other for awhile,
But you will come and bring your smile.
That won’t be long you will see,
Till we’re together you and me.
To all of those that think of me,
Be happy as I go out to sea.
If others wonder why I’m missin’
Just tell ’em I’ve gone fishin’
Will miss you Uncle Norman and talking to you. Be at peace and know you were loved. To my family in St. Louis you are all in our prayers.
