So sorry to hear about the loss of Norb . He was a great guy and always had a smile for everyone ! Rest In Peace .
Norb’s friendly presence will be missed at St. Roberts. We grieve with you at his passing, dear Marcella. Our deepest sympathies and love.
This was such sad news. On opening night of St Robert’s Golf League, several of us talked about the great veterans in our league. His was at the top. Norb has always been a kind and very inviting person and friend. He will be greatly missed in league but more importantly in Church. He was a very special individual who will be remembered often. Rest in Peace Norb
