Norman Albert Vogt

First and foremost, Norm was an amazing husband, father and grandfather. He believed strongly in the philosophy of "lead by example". He was the "Go-to Guy" for his grandchildren, always setting the standard high, and being there for each of them. When the truck pulled out of the driveway our little dog Stella could be seen in the passenger seat.
