John "Pa" Thomas Norton, Sr.

May God be with him and his family at this time.

Hey Cuz,
May you rest in peace, I will miss your laugh and the good times we had on the porch in Nome. You were a great cuzin and a dang good man. Thanks for being a part of my life. I am sorry I wasn't there, but I toasted you on top of the mountain. To Johnny, Chris,and grandchildren, Jim & Bonnie you are in my thoughts and prayers. We love you, Monica & Jesse

John was an important part of the Bible Study group at St. Jude. We all enjoyed his participation, his humor, and his knowledge of the Bible and the Church. We are so very sorry for his family's loss. Know the you and he will be in our prayers.

My sincerest condolences to the Noron family and friends.

Chris an family so sorry to hear of your loss we know that words cannot express the lost and sadness you are feeling just to let you know our thoughts an prayres or with you

John was all about family and we were so lucky to have him in ours. Such a handsome, pleasant, spiritual man who we often saw at Mass with grandkids in tow. "If I miss the 1130 at St. Anne's, you'll see me at noon at St. Anthony's," he would say, with a twinkle in his eyes. Always that twinkle, always that smile. Our patriarch for reunions once Bill and the priests died, always there for us in happy and sad times. Give 'em hell in heaven, cuz!

Liz,

Your eyes sparkled when you talked about John and I was happy to see you filled with joy. Our family is so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and John’s family and I know you will cherish the wonderful memories you have of your time together.

I remember going over my Aunt Erna's house to stay when my Mom had another baby. John and Jim always were kind to me and John being the oldest would talk to me and even play games with me. I remember he helped me up a tree that I was determined to climb. I will miss your smiling face cuz. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family, remember he is resting in the loving arms of his Father.
