He was a Chef by trade and operated a number of restaurants throughout his lifetime. Norbert was retired. Most recently, he worked part-time at Chuck's Diner in Rancho Cucamonga, because he loved, so much, being part of the restaurant business. He enjoyed meeting with his friends and co-workers, at the diner, to chat and to enjoy their company. Norbert's passion was in his music. He gained great pleasure, over the years, writing and composing songs. His music was enjoyed by all of his family and friends. Norbert's enthusiasm for music was evident by his taking every opportunity to sing the many songs he had written. Norbert was a wonderful father to his three sons. He dedicated his life to his family. Norbert taught his sons the importance of following the Lord and living a Christian life. He was a caring person and was always there to make hard times less burdensome. His uncompromising love, caring and guidance will be with us forever. He will greatly missed by all.
