Aw man.

We all know how he’ll be greeted at the pearly gates.

How you doing Norm?

It’s a dog eat dog world and I’m wearing milkbone underwear.

RIP Norm

We're all going to miss Norm. So many cultural references

Anyone remember "Norm" that used to sit under the basket during mens bb games late 90s?!

We never actually did get to see what Vera looked like right?

We never actually did get to see what Vera looked like right?

A quick Google search tells us that We Saw her Wave from a car, We saw her face obscured by a Thanksgiving pie, and her legs were visible in another scene.

Fun fact about Vera: She was played by George Wendy's real wife Bernadette Birkett.

"What'll you have, Normie?"
"Well, I'm in a gambling mood, Sammy. I'll take a glass of whatever comes out of that tap."
"Looks like beer, Norm."
"Call me Mister Lucky."

RIP Norm. Loved that show. It’s a shame they can’t make TV shows like that anymore.

Not a shocker. There is a reason the life expectancy of obese/out of shape people is earlier than most. He actually lived a pretty good life based on his situation.
