Virginian-Pilot  August 1, 2018
Norfolk - W. Lee Norman Jr., of Virginia Beach, VA, died peacefully on Sunday, 
July 29, after suffering a long illness. Lee was born in Norfolk, VA, on September 
6, 1936, to the late W. Lee Norman Sr. and Marguerite C. Norman. Survivors include 
two children, Lea Carter of Moyock, N.C. and Joseph M. Norman of Clayton, N.C., 
four grandchildren, one great-grandchild, one sister, Shirley N. Anderson of 
Virginia Beach, VA, and a long-time special friend, Jeanne White, of Virginia 
Beach, VA. Lee was a fishing enthusiast, but sailing was his passion most of his 
life. He was also a great cook who enjoyed preparing fabulous meals for family and 
friends. As a young man working as an insurance salesman for just a short time, he 
was quickly promoted to manager. The company soon discovered he was only 20 years 
old and he was forced to wait until turning 21 to use the title of manager. Other 
occupations included working as an underwater construction diver on several 
projects including the Chesapeake Bay-Bridge Tunnel. He also worked in home 
remodeling until he found his favorite vocation, land development. Lee had a 
favorite line (author unknown), "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. 
It's about learning to dance in the rain". Lee will always remain very much alive 
in the memories of those who loved, respected, and treasured him. A Catholic 
funeral service will be held in the Chapel of H.D. Oliver Funeral Apartments, 1501 
Colonial Ave., Norfolk, VA, on Friday, August 3, at 12:00p.m. Burial will follow 
at St. Mary's Cemetery. The family will receive friends two hours prior to the 
service at 10:00a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be offered in 
Lee's memory to a children's charity of choice such as St. Jude's Children's 
Research Hospital or Boys Town. Helping children in need was a very private 
concern. Online condolences may be shared with the family at www.hdoliver.com
