We had planned to attend Norms service but are unable to. We will always remember Uncle Norm for the beautiful photos he took, for the kindness he showed Grandma Mignon while she was ill and for the love and compassion he showed Aunt Kathy while she battled cancer as he never left her side. We lost touch with him the last few years but he was always in our hearts and a member of our family. Norm was a wonderful man with a kind soul and will be missed. Love The Mignon Family

Norm never left her side and did all he could for her. We haven't seen him much in the last few years but he's always been in our hearts. Sorry for your loss he was a wonderful man with a kind soul.

I worked with Norm at Winnebagoland Insurance Agency. He was a real joy to be around . I remember him as a very intelligent man and a mentor to me in the insurance business.
God is with him.

Knowing Norm for almost 40 years we new him as a fun and interesting man. He was full of knowledge and had a way with words that anyone around him was intrigued by what he shared! He was a character, a comedian, a teacher and wise beyond belief. We were sad to see him move away from everything he held dear in Kaukauna. God made a very special man when he created Norm and it was an honor to be called his friends.
It was with great sadness that we learned of Norm's passing. Norm was a wonderful man and contributed much to St. Paul Parish. He was a member of the Christian services committee, helped in our country store for the fall festival and co-ordinated the homeless shelter day of meals that St. Paul was responsible for.. We sure missed him when we moved. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. God Bless.
