Daniel Norman

August 11, 1941 - February 8, 2022

Dan Norman, a devout Catholic, passed on February 8 after over 80 years of life. His family is so thankful for the adventures he had. From encountering a weasel while fetching eggs from the hen house as a kid to later traveling all over the northern hemisphere with his wife and good friends, Dan made the most of his time. Of course, working was synonymous with Dan’s character, and he instilled the work ethic into his family. He started by delivering soft drinks and finished in upper management at General Electric in Mt. Vernon. Part of that road required him to earn his bachelor’s degree, which he did when he was 53 years old. Dan also had many talents. From building most of his own home on Ford Rd to square dancing, to refereeing football, to volunteering at St. Boniface, to dressing up as a nun to MC his Mater Dei class reunion, he enjoyed new activities. Dan was preceded in death by his wife, Barbara “Babs” Norman; his parents, Malcolm and Margaret Norman, two sisters, Doris Jean Richter and Alwina Koester and two brothers, Jerry and Richard Norman. He is survived by his wife, Peggy, his sons, Bryan (Cathy) Norman and Brad (Andre Guthrie) Norman, his granddaughters, Chelsea (Chris) Barrett and Danielle (Alex Mitchell) Norman, his great granddaughter, Nora, sister Debbie (Bill) Greathouse, and step son Scott (Lacy Hanmore) Wilhelmus and Scott’s son, Vince. Dan is also survived by many cherished nieces and nephews. Many thanks to Good Samaritan Home and Heart to Heart Hospice for taking care of “Dan the Man”. The Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00 AM on Friday, February 11, 2022 at St. Boniface Church, Rev. John Brosmer officiating. Burial will follow in St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery. Friends may visit with the family from 3:00 until 7:00 PM on Thursday at Pierre Funeral Home, 2601 W. Franklin Street and from 9:30 AM until service time on Friday at St. Boniface Catholic Church, 418 N. Wabash Ave. Condolences may be made online at www.pierrefuneralhome.com.
