When he was just a boy of 11 years, Norman started working with his dad at Pelton Pump Company. He continued to work there for over sixty years, becoming the owner when his father retired. If Norman worked on or drilled a well, he never forgot the particulars, and was often called upon years later for information. He was a longtime member of the Missouri Water Well Association. An outdoorsman at heart, he found pleasure in hunting and fishing, and traveled extensively with his family members who enjoyed it too. Norman is survived by his wife of 52 years, Betty; sons Kenneth, Carl (Vicky), and Kevin (Tina); daughters Debra (Tom), Mary (Jeremy), and Stephanie (Charles); six grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and several brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, and extended family. The management and staff of WorldWide Drilling Resource ® express their sympathies to Norman’s family, friends, and colleagues. # " $ % & & ' "" ) " %' "" (! %' ' ' % ' Irrigation by: Rain Bird Academy Rain Bird Boot Camp January 5-9 ~ Clearwater, FL January 12-16 ~ Atlantic City, NJ January 26-30 ~ Oklahoma City, OK January 26-30 ~ Stanford, CA phone: 800-498-1942 www.rainbirdservices.com Education Connection
