My thoughts and prayers to the Stottlemyer Family. Norman will be remembered by all his stories that we all loved to hear. I remember as kids when we all grew up together, if we ever needed a place to stay. There was always a place at Norman’s. Norman would always wait up for us. You will be missed Norman. Love you all.
I met & worked with Norman at New Standard and Norm took me under his wing. He was a great man and I would call him my friend. I always enjoyed talking with him and am sorry to hear of his passing. My best to the whole family, I am sure he will be missed. I will remember our times together and he is in my prayers. I am very sorry not to be able to attend his service, but he will be in my mind & heart and nothing but pleasant memories from knowing him. A true gentleman a your family should cherish all your memories, as I will forever.
