Stixnstones:
Last night one of the last guards passed on to the happy hunting grounds. I’m really having a tough time finding the words to express what he meant to me and so many others. Thank you for everything my good friend…

MWirwicki:
Stix,
I logged on to post the same.  Davey, texted me early this morning with the sad news.  I along with many looked up to Norm.   

Norm, was one of the most talented men I know.  He had a knack for making something out of absolutely nothing.  In making something "new" appear to be years old.  He was a genuine master, self taught in many of his exploits from trapping, primitive bow making and flint knapping to building flintlock rifles.  I was happy to visit him a couple of weekends ago.  I knew in some way that his days were numbered.  Though it wasn't verbal, I had my chance to say, "Good bye, Ol' friend."

My sincere condolences and wishes to his wife, Jean who laid beside him while he peacefully passed.  She never left Norm's side... ever.

Very saddened to hear this.

Pat B:
I never met Norm but he was surely one of the pioneers of our obsession. I remember seeing a pic of Norm with a sinew backed working recurve in one of my archery books that made an impression on me to help me get interested in building wood bows.
RIP Norm. Maybe I
Maybe I'll finally meet you on the other side.  :OK

Pappy:
Very sad to hear, I meet him years ago and he was quite the inspiration, he will be missed for sure. Thought and prayers with his wife and family. Pappy
