Yes he grew the best corn however I remember him always asking the most lovely ladies to dance at Marlene's Galaxy, and if turned down moved on to the next one till he got that dance.

Norm will be greatly missed by so many in the Puyallup community. Most of us, including myself, knew him as the man who sold corn on Main Street. And it was the best corn! The last few years we could see he was in pain and struggling. May he rest in peace and no longer be in pain. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

I knew Norm from "Norm's Corn". He was such an industrious friendly guy and I'll miss him! I'm glad he came from such a large loving family -- I'm guessing he had a good life and that he'll be missed by many!

Aunt Ellen and family,
So sorry to read about Butch's passing. Although I have not seen you or your family in numerous years I think about the Boettcher family gatherings quite often. Butch was always the center of the party and really to give us all a "bad" time! God Bless you. Nancy Boettcher
