Brian Norwood Obituary

Hey Norm. I think of you everyday. I remember Kindergarten when the nurse was checking the tubes in our ears and we had to take off to try to catch our bus from leaving us at Jack Hille. I got to be brothers with you for a long long time. I was the lucky one because you were a gift from above bro. I was not always the greatest bro and you always stuck by my side. You taught me some fighting techniques and you even used me to throw on the ground.LOL! You know what I mean! The Scorpions on while we worked out, punching bags, Thoms long legs kicking the bag, Stogen, Curtis, Jimmy Dunn, Grammy and Sean. Spending the night, looking at the muscle magazines hoping we can get as big as Arnold, Jeff Hanson, RELIV, your hair, your smile, your laugh. Your arch when you benched, chinese starts, numb-chucks, Gonzo...you always called me on my birthday. Always. Your dang 6ft Alligator, your 8ft freaking snake and all the other crazy animals you had! Jimmy Dunn misses you so much bro. I see it in his eyes when we talk about you. I didn't know Chad but he seems like a great guy. Jimmy says he has a hard time. I think everyone you meet in your life you made an impact. Not sure if you know that bro. I remember when you sparred me in your garage. Thanks for going light contact.

Lorre,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I hadn't talked to Brian in many years but we were very good buds in HS. He was truely one of the best men I've ever known. He used to take his grams caddy out when he was 15 and we would drive around in that boat. I'll never forget Brian and all the great times. I hadn't talked to him in a long while but would always think about what he was up to. I'm so glad he had you there for him.

Bette Baron, Lorre. I am so sorry for your loss. I am truly speechless. I went to school with Brian at Ridge. He was in the same grade as my older sister Renee. Brian and I use to pal around when we were in grammer school and he inspired me as a your girl. He gave me my first turtle. I remember going to his house and seeing all of his and wanting one, he gave me one a few days later. Then him giving me a box turtle cause the other one(painter) was too slimy for me. He was always such a brilliant mind, and bright soul. It has been so long since I have last seen him...,high school. He inspired and encourged me to take up martial arts 2 black belts later and counting. I feel very sad that I let time get away and never thanked him for being him and such a inspiration and wonderful being. I truly feel for you and the family, children, bestill my heart. I just found out today. My deepest condolences to you and the family. Just so sorry.............

Lorre,
So sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you and your kids.
Love, Susie (Christie's Cousin)
