David Norris Friedman, better known as Norris, Dad, Poppy, and Papa, was born in Birmingham, AL to Lillian and Louis Friedman on April 15, 1929. After graduating from Ramsey High School, Norris served bravely in the Korean War as a member of the US Army. Upon returning home, Norris met and married Faye Beck Friedman and the couple raised three daughters while Norris founded and grew his business, Norris Sales Company.
Throughout his life, Norris enjoyed boating and fishing on Lake Logan Martin and playing poker - often traveling to Las Vegas for tournaments. But his proudest achievement was in the family he built with his wife Faye and seeing the accomplishments of his children and grandchildren, whom he adored.
Norris was preceded in death by his mother Lillian, his father Louis, and his son-in-law Brian Grodner. He leaves behind his wife Faye, sister Betty Steinmetz (Max Steinmetz), daughters Linda Grodner (Gadi Kakou), Diane Weiner, and Judith Friedman (Bill Bryan), son-in-law Mike Weiner, and grandchildren Ellen Lichtenstein (Michael Podhajsky), Allie Henke (Adam Henke), Lindsey Weiner, Gila Grodner, Kayla Grodner, and Ivan Bryan.
