A Message from the DOMAIN KEEPERFebruary 5, 2025Happy Birthday number Ninety Two Norm!!!!! If you’re reading this then you are probably as shocked as we are to have seen Norm’s “Porter” sell at auction for $15,000 last month. Makes us cry.
A Message from the DOMAIN KEEPERFebruary 5, 2023Happy 90th birthday to our buddy Norm. We sure miss you. Ninety sounds old till we look at the Norm’s News Eggway truck, it just turned 100!

A Message from the DOMAIN KEEPERFebruary 5, 2019As we enjoy this week’s wonderful Ozark weather we can almost hear Norm suggesting that it’s a perfect day to celebrate his birthday with a cruise in a cool car…and maybe head to a bar. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Message from the DOMAIN KEEPEROctober 12, 2017Missing our friend for Five Years. So very sad. Glad to have the Happy Memories. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Message from the DOMAIN KEEPERFebruary 5, 2017While we celebrate the fifth of his absent birthdays, it seems like he’s about to walk in and say, “That looks good! You gonna finish it?” -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Message from the DOMAIN KEEPEROctober 12, 2016Four years after losing our friend we still expect to hear him at the other end of the phone when it rings. The hot rodding community is just not the same. We miss you Norm. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Message from the DOMAIN KEEPERFebruary 5, 2016We are sad to recognize his fourth birthday without Norm. RIP Norm. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Message from the DOMAIN KEEPEROctober 12, 2015Wow another year without the rod god. He has been missed at the local and National shows. We all miss his infectious personality. There was only one. A toast to you Norm. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Message from the DOMAIN KEEPERFebruary 5, 2015It's time for another birthday wish to our friend Norm. We wish he was with us to share a meal, a drink and go for a cruise.Sadly we recently learned of the loss of one of Norm's good friends. Ed Woodard passed away late last year. Ed was a great guy and a close friend to Norm over the years. Ed was a very generous and knowledgeable guy. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Message from the DOMAIN KEEPEROctober 12th 2014Can't believe it has been two years since we all received the sad news. Share a toast to the one who was an inspiration to many... -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Message from the DOMAIN KEEPERFebruary 5th 2014At this time last year, Norm's Birthday, we missed him alot. This year on what would have been his 81st Birthday, we miss him even more. 'Here's to you my friend...' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Message from the DOMAIN KEEPERFebruary 5th 2013We remember and miss Norm on what would be his 80th Birthday. Where ever he is, we hope there is a large supply of cold ones. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Message from the DOMAIN KEEPERFriday Morning October 12, 2012Norms News received word that Norm Grabowski passed away this morning. We love him and will miss him. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Message from the Domainkeeper/Webmaster October 26, 2012We at Norm’s News have received some questions and comments
pertaining to our relationship to Norm. We
created this website at Norm’s request. Norm
actively participated in this site. Norm never
spent any of his money to make this site possible. While
this site has always been ‘owned’ by the Domainkeeper, for Norm it was always
“His official website”. We love Norm
and had both a business and personal relationship with him (another place that celebrates
Norm is the H.A.M.B... Many who knew Norm
spend time there). With Norm’s passing,
others are now active in “keeping his legacy alive.” Norm’s News is pleased to see any positive
discussion and remembrances of Norm. A
few points we’d like to be very clear on include: Norm’s News is not soliciting, nor accepting contributions or
charity in Norm Grabowski’s name. Sadly
Norm is not here to benefit from that type of generosity. We will be buying a
round, and shouting ‘NAZDROVIA!’ Attempts to contact Norm’s family should not be sent to this
site. To date we are not aware of any messages
intended for Norm’s family. This website celebrates many years closely involved with
Norm and all aspects of his life. At the
end we were not able to convince Norm to accept current scientific medical treatment for
his illness. We tried repeatedly, as did many
of his closest friends. Over the years many people have sent emails to Norm at this site. Norm did not have a computer of his own. The Domainkeeper read the emails to Norm. If there were attached photos, Norm would view them
on a laptop computer. The replies were
all created under Norm’s authorization. There
were various levels of involvement by Norm. Sometimes
Norm would dictate a response for the Domainkeeper to type and send. Sometimes Norm would ‘rough out’ a
conceptual response and the Domainkeeper would turn it into an email. Sometimes Norm would say, “You know what to
say…make me look good” and rely on the Domainkeeper’s acquired knowledge of
‘all things Norm’ to respond. While
Norm may not have uttered every word that was sent in response to emails sent to this
site, he was aware of every outgoing message
sent under his name. There are some emails
that have never been answered. There were
times that Norm was undecided as to exactly what he wanted as a response. If the email required a negative comment to be
accurate, a response may not have gone out. A
question about a car called “the Porter” comes to mind. This way of handling correspondence is quite common
among celebrities and professionals. Quite
simply the Domainkeeper also served as Norm’s secretary and sometimes, as his ghost
writer. When Norm’s illness was diagnosed he asked us to start a
Facebook page as an extension of this site. He
had hoped to be sharing positive news and reports about his illness. While his attitude was positive, accurate reports
of his condition would not be very upbeat. The
photos of him as his illness progressed would not provide encouragement to very many who
would see them. We knew Norm, we went through many experiences with Norm and we
miss Norm. His official website is a place for anyone who knew or wished they knew a dear friend.
