Kenneth R Norton, Sr. passed away quietly on April 19, 2021.He was born in Pima, Arizona on January 28, 1927, and was an avid gardener, hunter, fisherman, cribbage player and all-around adventurer. He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Lillie, his children, Judee, Jese, Darlene and Ken Jr, and stepson Jimmie Gilmore (Rozanna), as well as 6 grandchildren, 6 step-grandchildren, and great grandchildren too numerous to keep track of, AND 2 great-great grands. He was a tough shelled, rough-edged man who had difficulty showing love, but somehow still made you know you were love.; that was his special gift. He will be missed. The family expresses their profound thanks to Lamont Mortuary for the kindness, patience, and great sensitivity at this difficult time. Bye Daddy. We love you. Per his request, there will be no services. After his cremation, his ashes will be interred in the Pima Cemetery next to his parents and his son.
