  2. As someone who knew and loved Norby very much, please please please let police know if you know anything at all, even if you think it might not be important. He was a great friend, son, and brother and we all miss him very much.

  3. Norby was all right with me. I haven't seen the cat in about 15 years. Wish it had been sooner.

    God bless him and the Family!

  4. He was shot by a jealous man, good guess. Question the background of the tenants and their families. The killer is still there keeping to himself, trying to raise the bail he is surely going to need.

  5. WHAT ELSE SHOULD THE POLICE KNOW ABOUT THE MAN IN NORBYS BUILDING SO THAT WE CAN CATCH THIS COWARD AND BRING HIM TO JUSTICE. CLEARLY THIS PERSON WAS A WEAK AND COWARDLY KILLER TO JUST KICK DOWN A DOOR AND SHOOT AN UNARMED MAN.NORBY COULD HAVE PROTECTED HIMSELF IF IT HAD BEEN A MAN ON MAN CONFRONTATION. OBVIOUSLY THE KILLER KNEW THIS!!!

  7. I have known Norby since he was a young boy, he was good hearted then and and good hearted to his passing. He was deeply loved by his Mother and Brother. As any murder it is senseless. But, he was a person that not only will be missed but was greatly needed on this world. Norby we miss you....
