Tina Otto, church friend
Norm was a kind and sweet gentleman. I always enjoyed seeing him in the choir. When I was around he did not play the piano. So sorry I missed the opportunity. June, you were blessed with a “good guy” . I have missed you for a long time in worship due to your health but certainly recall the work you did at Calvary. Sorry ,for our earthly loss is Heaven’s gain.

To June and family…. I was a member of Calvary for many years before moving to Virginia. I sang with Norm in the choir. Norm was a special man. I always enjoyed his sense of humor and we often talked genealogy since I’m also into it. Norm will be so missed by the Calvary congregation. I send my deepest sympathy to you all because I know you will miss him dearly. May his memory be kept alive in the stories you tell of fun times you had together.

Verna and I enjoyed serving in the choir with Norm. I especially enjoyed our times together serving on various Boards and our time in fellowship together in Calvary’s American Baptist Men’s group. God Bless you and your family in this time of mourning.
