He married Sandra May Friend July 17, 1973 in Nashville, TN, and was a devoted and loving husband to her for nearly 45 years. Norm was employed by GM Truck and Bus as a Team Leader in the Paint Shop. A job he greatly enjoyed as he loved all things car-related, and his co-workers at the shop. He was a member of the Sports Car Club of America and the Linden Sportsman Club. He enjoyed shooting, autocross racing, golfing, fluffy little white dogs named Angel, and was an avid reader. He was a loving and supportive father, a fun and loyal friend, and a thoughtful and funny human being. He had a morning routine you could set your watch to, but he would be there for those he cared about in an instant. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Surviving are: his wife, Sandra; children, Jennifer Dively of Monee, IL, Jonathan Dively of Swartz Creek, and Lisa. He was preceded in death by his parents.
