He was born in Altoona. He married Judy Shiffler, who preceded him in death on Oct. 1, 2010.

Surviving are five children: Jeff Goetz (Louise) of Houston, Texas; Doug Bane (Michelle) of Frederick, Md.; William Bane (Roni) of Boonsboro, Md.; Jennifer Nickodam (Roger) of Kings Port, Tenn.; and Scott Shiffler (Diane) of Altoona; grandchildren: Henry, Beatrice, Brandon, Emily, Carli, Lexi, Camdon, Cody, Sarah, Abby, Johnnie, Scott II, Renee and Matt; great- grandchildren: Colby, Layla, Kyson, Avery, Evan, Olivia, Leah, Maverick, Vivien and Allen Jr.; and a sister, Donna Berkheimer (Lou).

He was preceded in death by a son, Norman Jr.; and a brother, Donald Goetz.

Norman worked as a construction project manager for numerous companies. He was a member of Mt. Nebo United Methodist Church in Boonsboro, Md., the Bavarian Aid Society, the Unter Uns Society and the Buccinese Society. He was an avid poker player and hack golfer who loved to drive and travel and loved his family.

We imagine Norman (Pappy) speeding around heaven playing golf and gambling at the casino in the sky while never missing a Friday night poker tournament. Pappy will be forever missed and never forgotten, but we are so happy for Pappy to be reunited with his wife, his son and his brother, and all of his loved ones that paved the path before him.

A Celebration of Life for Norman will be held on Aug. 2, 2024, at the Bavarian Aid Society, 112 S. 13th

St., Altoona, from 5 to 9 p.m. The family hopes that everyone who wants to share their memories of Norman will attend the Celebration of Life for a wonderful human.
