Nadine Buchholtz wrote a sympathy message

“Norm was a friend to Bucky - Jack Buchholtz, my husband. Here too Jack was a police officer with Norm. Even after retirement, they talked on the phone and Jack would go to Norm's to visit. I went with him once also. They were close. When we moved to Florida I would fly. Jack would drive so he could stop and see Norm. Two years ago Norm and Geneva came all the way to Zion for Jack's memorial. Norm was not just Jack's friend, but mind also. He will be missed.”
