Mrs. Young, Cliff, Ken and David,
I am so sorry to learn of your husband/Dad passing. I often times recall the fun and laughter we shared at Tyler Street Baptist. Norman was always so nice and had a smile on his face. May he rest in peace in Heaven.

Our family was blessed by Norman and Betty, and all the saints of Tyler Street. You were the perfect Christian family role model, and you gave so much to our youth group.

Mrs. Young and family - I am so sorry to hear of Norman's passing. I can still see him down in the advertising department as I went upstairs to circulation to work for my dad during the summer and a few trips down Harrison to pick him up for work a couple of times. He was a wonderful family man and great Gazette employee. May God hold your familly close to him in the days and months ahead.

April 25, 2012

Sandy and I send our deepest sympathies to Kenny and family. I remember Norman well from my early career at the Gazette and then when I moved to the Democrat as we both handled the United Artists movie account. He was a good man.
