Beginning in 1984 as a part-time clerk, he entered the management program and advance through the ranks to become Regional Vice President. His unwavering dedication and work ethic inspired his family and colleagues alike. Despite his demanding career, Norm remained a devoted Christian and an exemplary husband, father, and grandfather. His son, Evan, and grandchildren, Ethan and Kinsley, were among his greatest joys. The birth of his grandchildren, who called him Papa, were two of the happiest days of his life. He loved teaching them to fish, cook, and appreciate the outdoors, especially his passion for birds. Papa was famous for his holiday-themed pancakes, a cherished tradition during their visits. As a leader in the Boy Scouts of America, Norm mentored his son, Evan, and four friends to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, a source of immense pride. He was thrilled when his grandson, Ethan, recently began his journey as a Cub Scout. A passionate foodie, Norm loved cooking and exploring new cuisines. He founded the “Dinner Club” with friends, and while many have come and gone, the core group of Mike and Holly Fogel, Mike and Tiffany Marlow, and beloved Penny Servies became family with over 25+ years of shared meals and memories. Norm’s quick wit, great sense of humor, and love for good times with family and friends left a footprint on everyone’s heart. He was the life of the party everywhere he went. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
