| Obituary | Nov 18, 2001 | OBITUARY: ALVARADO - Norman Wright, 89, retired from LTV, died Sunday night, Nov. 11, 2001, at his home in Johnson County, with his little dog, Pepper, at his side. Funeral: Norman did not want any type of service. In 1973, he had made arrangements to donate his body to science with the Southwestern Medical School Willed Body Program in Dallas. His wishes were honored. Memorials: For those desiring, Norman would really appreciate your making a donation to the Mansfield Animal Shelter, where he adopted Pepper years ago. The address is 407 Industrial Blvd., Mansfield 76063. That little dog made a big impact on his life. Norman H. Wright was born June 29, 1912, in Chelmsford, Mass. At a very young age, he went to work for Sikorsky Aircraft in Stratford, Conn. Sikorsky became Vought Sikorsky, later became Chance Vought, and later LTV. When Norman was 27, he married the most beautiful girl in Bridgeport, Conn., Ruth Farnsworth. Norman and his family transferred to Texas, with the company, in 1949. Norman loved building aircraft and working on anything mechanical. He retired from LTV in 1975, after 46 years of service to the company. "Stormin' Norman" was a "man for all seasons" and the skills and knowledge that he shared with his friends and family will live forever. He enjoyed 26 years of life after his retirement and believe me, he lived those years to the fullest! Norman was preceded in death by his parents, Leonard and Adeline Wright; a stillborn son; three brothers; and his sister.
