Greetings to the friends and fans of Norm Breyfogle. On behalf of Norm’s brother Kevin Breyfogle and sister Penny Duncan, we want to express deep appreciation for the support of his friends, associates, and fans who are mourning the loss of our brother, friend, and champion.

We also appreciate your patience as his brother and sister deal with this immense loss. Norm was cremated on Sunday September 30, 2018 in Lake Linden Michigan. We are making preparations for a celebration of Norm’s life on October 27 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Ericson Crowley Peterson Funeral Home in Calumet, Michigan.

For those who cannot attend, we are looking into the possibility of sharing part of the celebration through a Facebook Live broadcast.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations for a memorial to Norm’s life and achievements at Houghton Cemetery in Houghton, Mi, and to cover costs of preserving his art.

Some final notes to address some of your questions. Norm died of heart failure related to his stroke in his apartment. Also, please be careful of information, requests, and announcements that do not come from immediate members of Norm's family. As we have additional information, Kevin and I will connect with you through Norm's Facebook page, which we are preparing to memorialize.
