Richard Norl, Jr.

According to the divine will of God, on April 23, 1940, in Pritchard, Alabama a small town which borders the north side of Mobile, life began for Richard Norl.  He was the only child born to the late Virginia Watson.  He grew up to be loved by many and it can be said that he never met a stranger.  You could always find him talking to someone about the Lord.

Richard was blessed to meet Sandra Smith.  On December 16, 1983 they were married and enjoyed 36 years together.  Richard enjoyed football and fishing.  He was gifted with fixing cars. He could tell what was wrong and what was needed just by listening to it.

Richard received Christ during his latter years.  He was a member of Living Church Ministries International where he faithfully served until his departure.  Richard truly loved the Lord, his Pastor and entire church family.

Those of us who knew and loved Richard are truly grateful for the times we shared. He fought a good fight against sickness in his final days. On Saturday, December 7, 2019, the angels took him to his heavenly home.  He will certainly be missed by all who knew him.

Loving memories will be cherished by his devoted wife, Sandra Norl;  Children, James Antonio Norl (Baldwin County), James Antonio Norl (Tekesha) Birmingham, AL,  Anthony Embry, Birmingham, AL, Angela Webb, Birmingham, AL, Christina Washington (Rodney)Birmingham, AL, Bridgett Marshall Bessemer, AL, Tiffany Bryant (Theodore) Bessemer, AL; 15 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends.
