Together, Norm and Joanne bought their first home and built their little family. They moved to Chino in 1986. Norm was the pillar of responsibility, taking pride in the work you do and taking care of his family. He worked hard during the day and ensured he was present for his boys’ extracurricular activities. He followed suit with his grandchildren. Some of Norm’s favorite pastimes were taking trips to Las Vegas, deep sea fishing trips, playing golf, participating in community softball leagues, watching Dodgers Baseball and cheering on Rams Football. He had a stellar work ethic, setting an example of never calling in sick to work. His motto was – being 15 minutes early means you are on time. He recently retired in 2020 from his trade of being an electrician after 44 years. He worked hard, loved his family wholeheartedly, and was so proud of each of them. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him and will live forever in our hearts.
