Norman Moore

Love you Norm ... Brothers forever.

Leon and Gini,Our heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family. We hope you can remember many happy times together. Our sincere sympathy.

I remember the first time I met Norm. It was 2011 or 2012. He had joined the Kettle Moraine bike ride put on by The Wisconsin Bicycle meet up group. He came with his gal at the time, and rode a single geared bike. Here we were all riding various road bikes & wearing the newest biking clothes. Not Norm! He rode single gear older bike and wore kakis! LOLOL At first, I was worried if he would make the full ride. I should not have worried at all! He was born to ride! He definitely proved that it did not matter what you rode, it was the ride itself. I will always remember the joy that shown on his face that first time I rode with him & every ride after that! My condolences go out to Norm's family, and loved ones. Know that Norm will be very much missed by many, however he will live on forever in our memories & hearts. Debbie

You know how there are those people that are just part of your community. Not family or a close friend, but someone you say hi to when you run into each other, and if there is time, you check-in? People who make you feel connected to a place. Norm was that for me. I met him through the Wisconsin Bike Touring meetup group when I moved here. He was one of the first people that welcomed me to this new city 7 years ago. Since then, he never forgot me, and vice versa. If I was on a ride, or at Motorless Motion, or who knows where and we recognized one another, there was always a smile and a hello, if not a sharing of stories and adventures or a remembering of our shared birthday. He made me feel a part of Madison as a whole, not invisibly going about my days, especially in those first few years as I made friends. The most recent time this happened was a week and a half ago at Lazy Jane's. I was deep in conversation with friends when he got the table next to us and said hi. I wish at the time I had taken a break to catch up with him. I didn't realize it would be our last smile and hello. For me, this spoke to the side of Norm I knew, welcoming, a leader, and an avid cyclist. Someone who made this city the community it is for me today. I am so so sorry for your loss. I know I miss my birthday buddy. The gift he gave me lives on in the way I try to be like Norm to others in Madison. Olivia

Uncle Norman inspired me to join the Air Force. He loved deeply and fiercely. I will miss him tremendously. -Nikki
