Our condolences
I was in Red’s home group for several years before his first wife, Doris, passed away. They were always so welcoming to all the members of our group. I will forever be grateful for all the teaching, laughing, and encouragement I received during this time of my life. What a great man of God! My prayers are with Elsie and all his family and friends. Blessings, Linda Cravens
To the family of Red Norris, especially Terry and Ken whom I had the pleasure of knowing and working with many years ago. I am so sorry for your loss. The word of your father’s passing traveled too slowly for me to attend the visitation. I would rather speak to you in person. Your father was a friend and mentor to me and so many others at Scherer when he and Quality Electric joined the company. He was kind and sharing in his leadership and one of the people I respected most in my life. Certainly one of the smartest people I ever knew and he taught me so many things. May God bless you and may God bless Red. Jim Plahitko
