Norman Schneider, 77, of Greenville, TX passed away peacefully on March 16, 2025, surrounded by his family and loved ones. Norman grew up in Toledo Ohio. He served the United States Army for 20 years. During service to our country Norman fought in the Vietnam War receiving three Purple Hearts. He spent the majority of his military career as a helicopter and aircraft repairer. After an honorable discharge he continued his career in the aircraft industry.  He built and repaired aircrafts for people like John Travolta and John Goodman at Love Field. He also spent several years at E-Systems and later retired from Lockheed Martin in 2010.

Norman enjoyed life and loved his family. Family was his top priority. He was so often the light in the room, with a big smile and finding someway to be silly.

His favorite way to spend his time was anywhere near the water. He could often be found with neighbors by the pool, playing volleyball. At the lake camping, boating and enjoying a good fish fry. If he wasn't by the water, He was probably watching the Dallas Cowboys play! 

Norman will be dearly missed and always remembered.

Siblings Debora Hall, Brenda Sova and Ron Schneider. Daughters Kandice Black and Yvonne Gill.
