Norman was the grandfather of six grandchildren, Kayla, Austin and Kourtney Smith and Clay and Chloe Smith and Wyatt Roberts. Later in his life Norman's illness kept his from enjoying many things, but his wife was able to help him attend many of his grandchildren's special events, programs and sporting activities.His two special joys were his faithful canine companions Sally and Lady. Before Sally's demise she never left Norman's bedside, a true protector of her master. When Lady was brought into Norman's home she was his new special and loyal companion.

Norman's presence will be missed by his family as well as his loyal canine, "Lady".
