I knew Billy only a short time but enjoyed his company during our lunch dates. He always mentioned Tommy and Steve and usually some memories about Reba. I teased him about his driving habits (terrible) so I drove his car on our outings. He was good natured about it. He will be missed. My sincere condolences to his family.
Tommy/Steve, so sorry to hear about your Dad. He was always so nice to me and my family. I will be thinking of you.
Mr. Billy was a great man and a good customer that I enjoyed working with.
My prayers for your family at this time.

Always enjoyed visiting with Mrs.Reba and Mr. Billy when In their store. They were both tremendous assets to our community. Heard many stories of their travels. A wonderful couple and will be missed.
He was such a nice man that I have known all of my life. He was so friendly whenever I saw him. I always felt very welcome at his home. I learned in my youth what an intelligent man he was from being in his Sunday School Class.

I remember buying my first bedroom furniture from him in 1962-63. Still have it in use. Can you believe that? And, last year purchased from Normans and was happy to talk to him.
So very sorry.
Very sorry for your loss. He was a sweet man.
He will certainly be missed by all.
He’s been associated with Normans Furniture Store as long as I can remember, always smiling. Goodbye Mr. Norman.
So sorry to learn that Billy passed. He was my first Sunday School teacher (many years ago). I have known him since I was 7 years old. He will be missed.
