I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Charlie at the Texas Steel Guitar show early on. Both were fine people.

Shirley and Charlie were very close friends with Nancy and me. We always visited at the store and
often at their home. Here is the last visit in their home before Charlie's death. Also a little history of
a very special steel I purchased from Charlie. Shirley was always very supportive of Charlie and his
steel guitar activities. She was secretary of the TSGA during the eighteenth annual Texas Steel
Guitar Jamboree.

MEMORIES OF VISITS WITH SHIRLEY AND CHARLIE NORRIS

[Wendell Pilgrim]

Mrs. Norris was a very kind and loving person. I grew up watching her and Charlie sacrifice and give so kids like me could learn to play music. Mrs. Norris and her husband Charlie were family to me and my family. My life has been touched and blessed by the Norris family. I am happy that Charlie and his wife are together again.

I will forever be grateful to the Norris's for inviting me to play the Texas show. For me it was a dream come true, to be ask to appear on the main stage of the TSGA. Our most profound sympathies to their family.

Our prayers and condolences go out to the family. Shirley was a sweet and kind lady. She and Charlie were instrumental in getting me started in the steel guitar world by giving me my first job as the staff keyboardist on the TSGA show. She will surely be missed.
