Norm Bartling was one of the best friends I have ever had! He was loyal, hardworking, honest, supportive and always lifted my spirits with his humor. We always had a lot of fun working together and outside of work. I learned more being around Norm for the last 15 years than anyone in my adult life. While I will continue to miss Norm very much, I am thankful for all the time we spent together and the wonderful memories! Rest in Peace Norm, Love you Brother!

Norm was a good friend and a very funny man! He liked to joke with me on the phone and when we would go places. We went places like Blue Wahoos games, Hooters (for my birthday), and the movies. I am going to miss him a lot!
