    Sandy and family,. So sorry for your loss, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We had some great times out at horse camp with you all. Love and blessings. Jim & Kristi Dahn

    I met Norm working at the power plant in Escanaba in the 70’s. He became like “the brother I never had”, and I soon found out he always had my back. There wasn’t a subject he couldn’t talk about and once you met him you never forgot him. Years later fate brought us back working together as meter readers for the same company. He taught me how to find homes from one end of delta county to the other in places many have never been. Give him his thermos of coffee and he was off and running. His heart belonged to the loves of his life; wife Sandy, grandkids Dean & Paydin and his horses in that order. A real people person who could converse with anyone. You will be missed. I close with, “Happy Trails to You Norm until we meet again!”
    Peace & Love,
    Marilyn & Tom

    A true patriot, a champion of rights, a fellow Finn & equestrian, and the best darned friend a person could ever have. He fought the good fight and is an example to us all. Hugs to Sandy, and our deepest condolences to all his loved ones.

    Hey Norm, it’s not goodbye, it’s see you later or “Until we meet again “ . We will think of you often and reminisce at the group campfires. You are not far away.

    Norm you looked so good at Elk Hill the fall of 2020!
    I was sure you would be back in 2021!
    You can pull the big trailer, Sandy!
