Norman loved and cherished his family. He enjoyed it when everyone came together during the holidays, especially when they cooked out at their home. Our dad was a peaceful, easy-going, jovial, and hardworking man. Simple pleasures of life brought him great joy. Daddy loved sitting on his front porch from morning to evening where you can often find him napping with his baseball cap on. He enjoyed it when his grand, great-grand, and great-great grandchildren came to see him. Norman loved watching professional wrestling, baseball, and football and listening to good ole blues music. He worked for George C. Brown Lumber Company for over 30 years when he retired. Our father had a special ability to find happiness in his daily life.
