Dear Norm’s family,
It was joy to us meeting Norm through our Appaloosa horses. We still have 2 offspring from his World Ch. Stallion, Mr. Mystique. We have stayed good friends for over 25 years through cards, letters and e-mail. But also enjoyed his personal company on several occasions. In Hailey, Idaho and in Washington getting to meet his 2 of his grandsons and their mother. We are so sad to lose our friend. Loved him dearly.

Norm was a true artist and visionary. He was a gentleman and great mentor, and I always enjoyed his insight and the direction he gave me. He will be sorely missed and a great loss to our profession. Our prayers are with his family and loved ones at this time.
