I went to church and school with Norman through my graduation them worked with him at Ingalls for quite a few years.   The nicest person I have ever known.   God bless you and your family.

Norman & I went to IMS (he was a few years ahead of me) and were in the band together.  As other friends have said, he was one of the sweetest guys I've ever known. In high school, I remember him taking star trails and documenting so much of what went on with his beloved camera. He told me that he wanted to be an astronaut, so I was so glad that when we reconnected on Facebook that he'd had so many opportunities to meet his heroes. 
I always think of Norman when I pick up my camera, and can't believe he's gone. 
My prayers and sincerest condolences go out to his family during such a difficult time. May you be comforted by these memories.

Norman was a mentor (I never would have made it through pre calculus without him!) And dear friend.  He was always quick with a smile, a big hug and encouraging words.  I don't think I have ever laughed more than I did when I was around him.  His camera was always within arms reach and his pictures were amazing.  So many precious memories!  I used to tell my kids that someone was taking pictures in heaven when there was lightning...now we know who is doing it.  May God hold the family close and bring comfort .  My heart and my prayers are with you!

I loved knowing Norman at IMS.  We all loved him.  Always a smile and kindness.  We are praying for your family during this time.

Everybody loved Norman. He knew how to build a person up and make them feel special. He enjoyed encouraging others. I’m grateful for the time we shared as students at IMS and for all the moments he captured on film. Praying for the Lord Jesus to comfort the heavy hearts of the Holmes family. 

I worked with and around Norman for almost 19  years at Ingalls. He never met a stranger and was one of the sweetest people I’ve ever known. The year I was in the IMA Spring ball, he took many pictures of me and the entire court, printed them, and brought them to me at work, just because. He was one in a million, for sure, and I will never forget his friendship. We will miss you, Norman. I know heaven is a little bit brighter because you’re there. 💔

Norman is one of the sweetest men I’ve had the pleasure to know.  He will be missed. 

I knew Norm since he hired on at Ingalls, I remember a slender young man who was outgoing, friendly and enjoyed life. He will be sorely missed.
