Born on July 18, 1957, in Hanover, Pennsylvania, Norman served his country over 20 years in the US Military, retiring at Ft. Benning, Georgia in 1995.

Norman (Wyatt) was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Luella H. Erb, and his stepson, Joshua Scott Toll.

An avid sports fan, Wyatt rarely missed cheering on his favorite teams. He was a dedicated supporter of Alabama Crimson Tide football, and could often be found watching games and following the seasons of his beloved Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta Braves. Whether celebrating a victory or enduring a tough loss, his passion for sports was a part of who he was and something he enjoyed sharing with friends and family.

Though he will be deeply missed, those who knew and loved him take comfort in knowing that his spirit will remain with them always.

"Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed, and forever dear."
