Red worked as a commercial carpenter for many years, but his true love was his garden. Growing way more than the family ever could eat, his plan was to give his vegetables away. How wonderful it was to get a bag of fresh vegetables that was grown with such love and caring. He loved his sons and spent time hunting and fishing with them. He really just wanted to be with his three sons. He truly loved his church family; they all were special to him.

Norman leaves behind a legacy of love, devotion, and joy. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.He was preceded in death by a brother, Jackie Parker, and a sister, Bobbie Jo Pircey.
