My belated thoughts go out to all the Zimmer family. Your family holds many pages in my memory book. I wish you all strength in family, faith, and friends.

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, but may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

To My Dearest Poppie,
 What a beautiful story our Almighty Author wrote us. From the very year I was born, God knew I needed a Daddy in my life and in that same year is when you married sweet Nannie. Although you were technically considered a grandpa, God had planned for so much more than that. He knew I needed you. A man on this earth to be my authority, my protection, my role model, my loving papa bear. Over the past 20 years we have shared lots of talks, lots of laughs, and... lots of life; but what a blessing it is to know that you are now truly living a new life in paradise. A life where you have no more sickness, pain and two legs! I never would have thought that my time with you would be so quick, and man do I wish we could have shared life awaiting moments like: the day I graduate, the day I get married and have a family, and the day where all that God has planned will be in place. But you know, this passing from earth to eternity is not the end. In fact it is only a joy to know that heaven is where our story will continue. What a blessing it was to see so many prayers and long talks about Jesus answered and shared with you. Instead of praying for you, I had many opportunities to pray with you and over you, reminding you that in the midst of the trying circumstances, that Jesus is with you and that soon it will all be over and you will be united with our Heavenly Father, the angels, and those who have gone before us. Don't you worry, your piss pot promises to continue to make you a proud Poppie. I will continue to work hard for you and live a good and healthy life, just as you asked. You fought the good fight pops. And it is absolutely UNREAL that you are no longer with us, but to God be the glory that you are no longer in any pain or suffering. You were a very loved man by so many, and will never be forgotten in our hearts. I love you with all my heart, and 'I am going to miss you' is honestly the biggest understatement. Even these words are no amount to the impact you have had on my life, and where my heart is at this very moment, but at least God helped me write a little something. I hope that you are saying Hi to Nana and Jesus for me, just as you promised. We will be reunited soon. 
Rest in peace, my dearest Poppie. 
With all the love, 
Your Piss Pot

I know that heaven has welcomed a very special person but my heart is sad that I won't be able to have conversations with this warm, caring, man.  He was the only one who called me "Nance" .  Norm has gone home and you will see him again Viv, Lean on your Faith!!  Your sister in law - Nancy Sory

My thought and prayer go out to the family he will be missed dearly

So sorry for the loss of your Dad! I have so many great memories from the Greens, the Riverside, and of course the Ramp in Ft. Lauderdale! I will really miss him! Love to you, Norm and Susan! Sending prayers and love He was a wonderful man!

My deepest sympathies to the Zimmer family.  I will always remember Norm with great fondness.  Being at the Riverside Inn so much when my mum Rose French worked at the front desk.  Just really great memories.......

My heart goes out to all members of the Zimmer Family.  Norm was a great person all his life.  I felt honoreded to share my youth and later life with him and his family.  God be with you Vivian you were an angel by his side.

Mrs. Zimmer, my heart goes out  for the tremendous loss that you are going through at this time. Even though it may be hard to see past the sorrow today, may the memories you have and share help you tomorrow.
