My dad, Norman Oro-pez-a! This are more of the recent moments of us getting to celebrate his 75th Birthday this past March 2025. Others are pictures of him holding his grandbabies, at their dedications, and showing my son how to fill the bird feeder are some of my favorite memories and moments to reflect. My dad is a great man and I will forever miss him and will cherish these precious memories we had together. I love you, Dad. -Your Favorite Stephia. 💕🫶🏼
Shelia sent this pic to me from Norm’s birthday last year. My brother was full speed ahead with everything he did.
During the time Norm and Shelia and the kids lived in Santa Cruz, he invited us for dinner.
Keith (my husband) and Norm went out to buy more shell fish as he estimated we would ‘nt have enough with the crab and shrimp already purchased. Off they went and TWO HOURS later he came back with more delicious shell fish that had to cost a fortune. His only comment was, If you come to my house. You won’t leave hungry.”
This smile captures his love of all things good. His family and his faith in the Lord.
And of course crab.
I will miss my brother’s very dry wit and for his forthright personality. Rest now in the loving arms of Jesus. I love you.
