He loved to hunt and fish whenever he had the opportunity, as well as traveling with his wife to Lake Wales, Fla., to spend the winter and be close to his brother, Roger. Norman loved spending time with his “granddaughters” Dottie, Dani and Dee, taking them on day trips whenever he had the opportunity.
