Norman was many things in his life, but most importantly, he was Dad and Opah. He lived through many blessings and hardships, but always stayed strong and young at heart. He loved to be around family; especially loved cooking breakfast for his family. He took great pride in watching his children play ball. He always made sure that everyone felt welcome at his table. He loved playing cards, doing card tricks, watching Lonesome Dove, and eating a great steak.
He was highly sought after in his work as a production engineer, focusing on building and programming sawmill equipment. He retired, after many years of being a production consultant for Georgia-Pacific and International Paper.
We will always remember him as a strong man with a stern voice, but with a loving heart. He will be missed immensely by his family and friends.
