Here's his obit for those interested.
Andrew 'Scott' Norris, 56, died peacefully March 25, 2012 at his home after a
courageous battle with cancer.
Scott was born December 19, 1955, the son of Clifford and Mary Sue Norris and
was a native Charlottean. He attended East Mecklenburg High School and East
Carolina University. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his loving
wife of 33 years, Millie Leeper Norris and their two daughters, Amanda Carlisle
Norris of Charlotte and Alison Lee Norris of Greenville, NC. Also surviving are
his brother, Steve Norris of Morris Plains, NJ and his sister, Cindi Caddell,
her husband, Kevin and two nieces Hannah and Marley Caddell of Charlotte.
Scott was a gifted mechanic in the 'old school' tradition. Over 25 years he
established a successful auto repair business, Metric Wrenches, Inc., through
his sense of integrity and personal service. The family would like to express
their gratitude to Scott's customers who, over the years, became loyal friends.
Scott was a member of the International Model Power Boat Association. He was
skilled at building and racing model boats and well known throughout the
southeast for winning tournaments. Scott enjoyed fishing, jet-skiing, watching
sports and spending time with friends and family. He loved the Doobie Brothers
and was a charter member of their fan club. One of the most memorable events of
Scott's life was serving as a team member on a pit crew for the 24 Hours of
Daytona. Scott was a member of Avondale Presbyterian Church, where he was an
usher, coached the girl's basketball team and was always willing to volunteer
for workdays, barbecue fundraisers and other activities. Scott lived life to the
fullest and was a loyal friend to many who loved him for his sparkling blue
eyes, trademark ball cap, infectious laughter and his spirited, funny tales.
Please join us for a celebration of Scott's life at Avondale Presbyterian Church
on Wednesday, March 28th, at 11 AM with Dr. John Earl officiating. The family
will receive friends at the Avondale Family Life Center immediately following
the service. In lieu of flowers memorials should be directed to Avondale
Presbyterian Church for an established education fund for the girls.
TH Robertson Funeral Service, Lic. is serving the family. Condolences to
