Norman Emile Moore (Stormin' Norman) passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on November 22nd, 2020 at the age of 87. The son of Oscar Paul Moore & Marie Buelah Nellett, he was born in Pinconning on September 29, 1933. Norman was a descendent of the first citizen of Quebec City and all of his ancestors were French Canadians. Norm graduated from Pinconning High School in 1952. He attended Bay City Jr. College and then, much later, proudly graduated from Delta College in 1984 with the same class as his daughter, Chris. He continued his education with refresher courses from U of M. In 1962, he joined Monarch Life Insurance Company as a sales representative. In his first year, he became the top agent, leading the company nationally, with Monarch Life honoring him as “Salesman of the Year”. From that time forward, his hard work led him to become a lifetime member of the “Million Dollar Round Table” (MDRT).
Norm was active in numerous civic groups in both Saginaw & Bay City, including United Commercial Travelers for 65 years and Knights of Columbus - 3rd & 4th degree – for 65 years. While in Saginaw, he served as president of the Saginaw Downtown Lions Club, then transferred his membership when he moved to Bay City. His 63 year membership set a record for longest Lions Club membership in the area. His civic involvement also included membership in the Saginaw, Bay County, and Midland Home Builders Associations. Boating was a passion for Norm. He started with a 16' fishing boat and eventually, over the years, ended up with a 57' Chris Craft Constellation. For 45+ years he enjoyed cruising the Great Lakes and being a member of the Great Lakes Cruising Club and the Saginaw Bay Yacht Club.
A love of travel led Norm and wife Gloria on many adventures, seeing all 50 states and traveling around the world twice – once east and once west. Foreign travel found them in countries too numerous to list. By the time he completed his traveling, he had visited all seven continents.
Surviving Norm is his wife of 67 years, Gloria Joan Gunther, whom he married on May 9, 1953. Surviving children include son Norman E. Moore, Jr. (Alison) Bay City, daughters Vicky C. Jacobs (Scott) Golden, Colorado, Michele Stainbrook , Boyne Falls, Christine J. Skrocki (Jerry) Bay City. Norm shared a special love and relationship with each of his children, their spouses, his 11 grandchildren, and 9 great grandchildren. He especially enjoyed sharing each of his children's' special interest throughout their lives. In addition to his wife and children, he is survived by his sister Dianne Waters, brother Bryan Moore (Jean), half-sister Lynette, brother-in-law Richard Gunther (Judy) and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, his sisters Dorothy Callahan and Glenda Francis. Our love for him will never die and he will always be in our hearts.
