    Adding my condolences for Mr. Grabowski's family and friends...which kind of includes all of us. He was a kind and talented man, and enriched our lives.
     
  3. ... just sad. God Speed Norm
     
  4. I had the privilege to meet Norm only once in the later part of his life. Norm was larger than life. I had followed his early years through numerous the hot rod magazine articles he was involved in. To sum it up, Norm was a class act and a pioneer to the sport/hobby. We will miss you. RIP bro, until we meet again.

    Norm was a big influence on my life, as all of us in the Hot Rod hobby.
    We will be sadder here on earth, however, heaven will be a happier place with Norm there.
    We should all take a lesson from Norm, ENJOY LIFE!
    We will miss you!

    In 1989 as a Aussie traveller staying with Von Franco, I was part of the first test drive with Norm in the Von Franco Kookie T , The excitement was over welming, but my memories of being sideways at every turn and I mean every turn in the back streets San Franisico and Norm saying it handles as I remember at full rpm. " Man it was a Honor " I will always remember sharing your Jug of Moonshine at home in Arkansas.

    Our sad loss, but you will be in my heart for ever.


    R.I.P my friend

    Not if you ask us Norm,..... you were "Top Shelf" all the way.
     
  26. Like many of you I shook hands with Norm once at a car show and was impressed by the guy's larger than life personaility, wish I could have had the opportunity to have really gotten to know him. He will be missed.

    SAD SAD, How did I miss this sad news until now. We had just been talking about Norm, while looking at one of his shift knobs in my buddies Deuce Roadster.

    Another GOOD ONE gone. R.I.P. Norm
