Mr. Norman Owen Palmer Sr. was born on September 7, 1942, to the late James and Doris Palmer. On July 17, 2020, death came peacefully and gave him gentle rest.

Known to some as “Dogg” or “Bunty”, also known for his trash-talking. He was a dedicated husband and father. Norman worked for Moen for 20 years, then retiring to be able to relax and enjoy life.  And when we say relax and enjoy life, if you would ask him what he was doing he would tell you,” Nothing”, because he was “Retired”. He was a member of Tempting Congregational Church.
