debwill Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Mary Ann Naumann asked me to make the following post for her (having some problems posting on TSZ right now): Another loss to the Racing Community - such a great man! Norman Walker, a great man and father of Wayne Walker, a long time local racer and one of our dearest friends, passed away last night. His sweet daughter-in-law, Sue, notified me this morning that he passed away due to cancer, but with a smile on his face. It has been a long year for the family and certainly for Norman. He never wanted anyone to feel sorry for him; he was a very proud man. When I first became General Manager for THR, Norm was such a major part in helping me! He never wanted anything said; he was just always there whenever I needed him. He spent many hours helping Jack and me to get rules typed and printed. He was such a giving man. He finally joined THR as one of our finest staff members. It goes without saying that he was a wonderful, very proud father of his son, Wayne. Norman was always there when Wayne was racing and he was so proud! We're all certainly going to miss him. God Bless Norman and his family. Sue said that she would let us know about he services, as soon as they had everything arranged. Wayne & Sue, my heart goes out to both of you during this difficult time.

spotter Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 To Wayne & Sue, Rae and I are deeply saddened to hear about Norm. Everytime I saw him he was smiling; he sure would help you feel better about having a rough day. If there's anything we can do, just let us know.

Wayne Walker Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Thank you ALL for the kind words. Dad passed at 12:43 a.m. this morning. He did have a smile on his face and he looked at peace. He will be missed greatly. I truely believe he was waiting for our return from Abilene(Southern Challenge) before he let go. This was his favorite weekend of the year since we started racing on dirt. I will post the time for the services tomorrow evening. They will be at Cook Walden in Pflugerville on Sunday.

fast18 Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I met Wayne and his dad Norm in '89 (sponsoring Waynes LHS car). Norm always had a smile on his face and always very kind. Wayne you and your family are in our prayers. Mickey & Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt5858 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Mr. Walker was one of the first people to welcome Dad and I to THR in 01! He always had encourging words when I was down. He was a very nice man and well respected by many people. My prayers are out to the Walker Family. Matthew Hodge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
