i believe Norman was a cousin of mine was his mother edith shelton?

I am so very sorry to hear of Norm’s passing.  May he Rest In Peace.  Norm was married to my cousin, Rita (Petrucci) Aldridge.  Rita passed on June 14, 2017.  Rita & Norm visited my home in Wilmington, Delaware after their marriage in September, 2001.  Rita & I were very close & we would talk on the phone monthly.  Occasionally, Norm would answer the phone & we would chat for a short time.  Norm called me when Rita passed away.  
My heartfelt sympathy to his family.  Thoughts & prayers are with Norm & you.

Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our uncle Norm, as he was the last of  our Father's siblings.  That chapter of our family is now closed.  However,
as life goes on, we are left with the memories of who he was.  The courage he exhibited as a young man, as well as confronting his health issues with
this same courage, was admirable.  His love of sports, especially basketball, was obvious with his competitive nature always shining through.

As children, we were told the story of Uncle Norm's decision to leave West Virginia, at the tender age of 18, and head for California.  What courage he displayed to go alone and pursue a life far from family.  He accomplished all the goals to find great success along his courageous path.

He welcomed his family to visit, and our trips out west were always memorable.  One special time, in the early 70's, he made arrangements for us to
attend a Lakers basketball game, enabling us to see our "Hometown" hero, Jerry West in action. WHAT A TREAT IT WAS!
He visited home often in his later years.  He loved attending East Bank High School reunions.  He loved reminiscing with old friends, and as always,
the dancing.  Every May 24th,  when possible, he visited to celebrate his brother Mont's birthday .  Dad could not wait to have him visit, and Norm could not wait to enjoy the home cooked meals of his family's favorites.  He craved the biscuits and corn gravy (a Shelton family staple), famous, top 10, West Virginia hot dogs, pinto beans with cornbread and chow-chow,chicken and dumplings, and leg of lamb with all the fixings.  Of course he always 
requested  his favorite lemon meringue pie for dessert.  He commented when leaving,"it will take months to get back in shape", but always with a look of great contentment!

California was his new home.  West Virginia was his HEART home.  Once a MOUNTAINEER,  always a  MOUNTAINEER!!!  You will certainly be missed
Uncle Norm.  REST IN PEACE.

He was a fine and brilliant man, and he will not be forgotten by the many who admired and respected him. 
We're going remember you.

I am heartbroken for you & the family Norm was a very special person to me he & I bonded over the   loss  of loved ones.  Something we both endured.   Every time he came town we went to our favorite Cafe Rick's Grill where we talked business, cars, we talked about life .  
The thing I will remember the most is.  Even at his age he  he still had Big Dreams. He was so looking forward to fulfilling those dreams   & although he fell short  of fulfilling them. He never wanted to give up.
I was so inspired,  he gave me Hope ...  Knowing that I too am dealing with a  terrible. Dianosis.   So, he gave me Hope  I'm not sure if I thought that was possible before.    Although he was unable to accomplish all the dreams he wanted too.   I hope he knows that WE Will carry on the dream's for him 
I certainly want to do my best by him & I will fight  my illness  with the same veracity that he did... I promised him that   He wanted to live forever & he will in the hearts of all of us Rest in Peace my Friend,  you will be missed Loren Fox

The hardest working guy that I knew was my father, Norman Shelton, I know he took a lot of pride in his work and was naturally very determined.  We spent hours talking about books and he loved poetry.  He liked the Moody Blues, the Beatles  and other rock music.  In the 1950's, he rode a motorcycle everywhere and was somewhat  of a wild and crazy guy sometimes, as I was once told. All along he loved basketball, playing much longer than most men. What an athlete! Norm was clear on what he believed with some strong opinions. Therefore,  he could argue, or debate until the cows came home. We had a lot in common in these ways. I will miss our talks and his visits. I will always remember and treasure my time with him.
I loved him ...Dora

Norm,
I met Norm in Sept 1968 when I became an agent in the Glendale office of Pru.  We had our differences in the office but I could always count on him for advice and support.  One time I cleaned up his desk and almost lost my life in doing so.  He was loved by his clients since he was always looking out for them.  Rest In Peace.

Norm was a friend, I had the honor of getting to know him over the last twenty years....I will always remember the basketball pick up games, that that Norm and I played in, along with Walter Danheiser, at the McCambridge Park in Glendale. Norm was a fierce competitor. He loved what he did, shared his knowledge with anyone who cared to listen.
I will miss you big guy....Rest in Peace....you deserve it.
