    So sorry to hear about Norman, he was the nicest man you could ever meet. I knew him for more than 25 years and we would do anything for you. I remember just moving out to Forest and did not have a lawn mower and he would come out every week and mow for us, that’s the kind of guy he was. He will be missed.

    Gloria and Doc,
    I’m so saddened to hear of Norm’s passing. He was like an uncle to me for the 20 years that I worked for Doc at Westview. He was such a warm hearted and kind man, he will be sorely missed by all who loved him.

    I was sorry to hear of Norms passing. I first met him when I worked on his tv back in the 70’s. I always amazed me how he was able to remember the names of people, even those he met years ago. He was a very sincere and outgoing person. I know those of us who knew him will miss him. I pray that the family finds strength and comfort in the Lord in the coming days and weeks.
