My prayers are with you, Sandy, and family. I think of all of you often and am saddened by Norbie's death. It has been a long time since I lived in Franklin and have fond memories of all of you.
My deepest sympathy.

In reading the obituary this morning on the internet. I was very surprised to read of Norbys death. He was a great person and former customer of mine when I sold him his Kubota tractors. May he rest in peace and be forever remembered. I know I will.

"Me, me, me, me, me, me, me..." Birthdays wont be the same without him warming us up to sing the Happy Birthday song. He brightened and livened up every room he walke into. We were so blessed to have known him. He will be missed but his spirit will live on in all those he touched. All our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time of such great loss. Sincerely, Susan, Dave, Jay and Maria Schwabe

Dear Sandy, Jeff, Robin, Lisa & Craig,
I love the picture of Norbie that you posted here. It is just as I remember him with that great smile and always some kind of hat.
Sandy & Craig - I'm so sorry we weren't able to see you over the weekend. We did have a wonderful time with the rest of the family, watching slides from when we were younger and remembering all of the great times our families had together.
I hope that

Norbie,
We will miss your smile and talks we had over the years. Your family and Native heritage traditions were the most important to you and you just loved life.
You were the most passionate person I ever knew. You could alwanys make me smile . You were taken way to soon from us, but God takes the good ones.
Unril we meet again, may you be at peace. We love you and you will truly be missed...
Sandy and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you and may you cherish all the great memories, at this difficult time.
Take Care

I will miss Norbie's beautiful smile, his big heart, his love of music, and his passion for family and Chippewa traditions.
Sandy, Jeff, Linda, Robin, Lisa, and Craig, I hope that family ties will become even more important now as you grieve and hold on to each other for love and support. And always remember to keep that family laughter going in memory of Norbie! That laughter is truly a gift that your whole family has.
Praying for you as you mourn Norbie's passing and celebrate his life. May you be wrapped in God's love.

Sandy, your family is in our thoughts and prayers at this time. I'm so sorry we missed seeing you, but we so enjoyed talking about our cousin times when we were kids with Jeff and Robin and Lisa. God Bless and I know that Norbie will be greatly missed by you all. Thank the Lord that we will all be reunited with the Lord in the future,

I remember meeting Norbie for the first time, It was in the AICCW offices. We sat next to each other and we talked or about an hour. He told me all about his family, his business and asked me a million questions. I was new to Wisconsin and didnt know many folks but after talking to Norb for a while I felt like I belonged at least a little more and had a friend. What I remember was his smile..
