Mr. Norman was born in the early part of the Great Depression in a large family. Those times taught him the value of hard work from a very early age. He had a talent for building and constructed many homes for families. He also enjoyed coaching little league baseball in his off time. He had a gift for being able to put the right kids in the positions to take the worst team in the league to be the best. He had a great sense of humor and liked to laugh. When his kids were young they enjoyed going to drive in movies, bowling, skating, parks, to ball games, and the zoo.
A gathering to celebrate his life will be held at Smith Funeral Home on Friday, April 27, 2018 from 5-7:30 pm. A life celebration memorial service will follow at 7:30 pm also at Smith Funeral Home.
