Obituary
Albany-Donald Lee "Quack" Normington, age 53, of Albany passed away on Friday, July 8, 2016, at his home. He was born on Oct. 14, 1962, in Madison, the son of Virgil and Margaret Normington. Donny worked for Federal Industries in Belleville for 20 years. He always went above and beyond helping his co-workers and earned praise from all of them. Donny loved his old muscle cars, especially, his Chevelle's. He also enjoyed car shows, drag racing, animals, especially his cat "Baby" and billiards at which he was a very skilled player. He is survived by his daughter, Tasha Swisher; grandchildren, Saveah and Alia; sisters, Marcia (Billy) Hanson, Marlene Humberg, Victoria Normington, Judith (Darryl) McKeown and Dale Malm; brothers, David (Kim) Normington and Virgil (Kristi) Normington; nieces and nephews, Nadine (Tony) Malm, Michael (Amy) Malm, Edward McGowan, Greg (Tamara) McKeown, Renee (Keith) Scheibel, Cole Normington, Casey Normington and Tim Humberg; and many other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Virgil and Margaret; brothers, Timothy and Phillip; and many aunts and uncles. A funeral service celebrating his life will be held at GUNDERSON OREGON FUNERAL HOME, 1150 Park St., Oregon, at 11 a.m., on Wednesday, July 13, 2016. Burial will take place at Graves Cemetery in the Town of Rutland. Visitation will be held at the funeral home from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m., on Tuesday, July 12, 2016, and at the funeral home from 10 a.m. until the time of the service on Wednesday. Donny had some wishes before he traveled on and thankfully, they came through. The first was to be at home when he left this earth and his daughter, Tasha said, "I will do that for you." With that wish granted and the bonus of two granddaughters to love, you could just see Papa Donny's pride. Another wish was only partially fulfilled, but there just wasn't enough time on his side. Donny wanted his '70 SS Chevelle finished so he could take his co-workers and friends for a spin. He wasn't able to stay here long enough for that, but he did get to drive her one last time...and all he could do was grin. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.

I will never forget the time about 16 yrs ago that Donnie came over to my house to visit like he always did and I had my iguanas out of the cage and I told him that they would not hurt him and he was still scared and got all fidgety and all of a sudden the one iguana jumped and lunged at him grabbed his leg and I thought Donnie was going to pee himself. He screamed like a little girl.

Donny took me in from an abusive situation, into his tiny little home. He said " Mary, its small, but you're family. There's always room for family". My heart is just breaking right now. Donny picked me up and helped me when I was the most helpless EVER. I had no job, no car, he had alittle brown Toyota. When I asked how much he wanted for it, all he asked was that I bake him some homemade brownies. DONE. We met Timmy Humberg down at sportsman's in new glarus for beers and from there on out...things were better. Thank you Donny, rest in peace. I sure love ya!
