Bobby Norris, My Dear Friend, Passes Away

This morning I was awakened at 4:15 with the news that my dear friend, Bobby Norris, had passed away. I first met Bob when he preached at Hatt Church of Christ near Parrish. He was a Sand Mountain country boy for sure. His outstanding humble character, quick wit, kind ways and great sense of humor will last in my memory. Our friendship grew quickly and lasted long. It is not over, just changed. I will have one more dear one on the other side to greet me when I get there.
He and Charlene were so close, I know it will be hard on her. His girls loved him dearly. Bob was living in Albertville and preaching for the Alder Springs church, his home congregation. He passed away at home last night about midnight. He recently found out that he had pulmonary hypertention and was trying to get an appointment with a specialist in the field.
The visitation will be on Monday(Feb 4) night from 5:30- 9:00 at Adams Funeral Home in Albertville, Al. The funeral will be on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. (with a viewing from 1-2) at the Alder Springs Church of Christ in Albertville, AL.
