Were you to walk past the house,you would more often than not,find him in a beach chair in the front yard,smile on his face and his wry sense of humor waiting to pounce. As best described,Norby was ''Just a good man''. Whether it was a customer at the post office,a resident in his apartment building,someone visiting the food cupboard,or someone simply walking down the street,all could count on one thing. Norby treated them the same. With love,respect and kindness. He truely was,a good man. Norby loved his family. He especially loved doting on his grandchildren,creating lasting memories each summer as they grew up. Happy times spent on the beach,at the beach house,and for some of them,Saturday happy hours at Sculley's or The Starboard.
