in honor of Norman.

I was one of norms caregivers!. I really enjoyed helping care for him and his personal needs. He was always up for new discussions aswell we spoke of travels and art alot his other talks of likes and dislikes. He enjoyed visitors and neighbors were close. He held a big adventurous side that still was with him. He was thankful to care we provided.He was a kind gentle smart with knowledge and liked a vast knowledge to learn liked reading documentaries. If he knew you had heritage or have liked some He likes could talk about he 😉 enjoyed thank you norm for letting me know you. As caregiver is a devoted task but we loved you and you'll be missed. Susan Allred amada care and more

My fondest memory of Norm, my first cousin, was when he flew me back from Richfield, Utah to Salt Lake City in a single engine plane. I was perhaps 14. He even let me fly it. When we were slightly off course, he would point his finger to the left or right, and I would respond accordingly. After getting back to the airport, he drove me to his parents’ house, where I was staying with my family, in his yellow Porsche. Needless to say he didn’t let me drive it, unlike the plane. I enjoyed spending time with Norm whenever I would visit Salt Lake area as an adult. He truly was a unique individual: highly intelligent, impeccably organized, and well versed whether the topic be politics, religion, travel or woodworking. I enjoyed his company and will miss him greatly. Our family will not be the same without him.
