    I’m very sorry for your loss. Norm will always be remembered as a mentor, friend and like a second father to me. He really enjoyed just talking with people about life stories. Some of the fondest memories in my life was being at the Blondell’s house. I was always treated like family. I know Norm will be missed very much, thanks for the memories. The Strobel family

    I didn’t see Uncle Norman often but when I did he was always a sweet and funny guy with a hug to share. He was there when I lost my Dad with such great stories to share of the “old days” when they were growing up. He and Aunt Helen were again there for me when I lost my Mom and were so supportive and drove such a long way. Hold fast to memories and the love will always be in your heart. My deepest condolences to Uncle Norman’s immediate and extended family and friends. Rest in Peace. Love you.

    Storman Norman was a great man! He told the most descriptive stories and had a terrific sense of humor. Norman never asked for much, but always gave to others. He was also not afraid to stick a foot in your a** when you deserved it. He Was A Good man- Kevin Read
