Norbert was 10 years old when I was born. By the time he was 16 -17 years old he was already a really big guy, but I was extra small for my age of 6-7 years. He gave me the nickname "Tiny". Norbert was always my "go-to" for comfort. I remember always sitting on his lap in the evenings after supper. He started calling me "Tootie" when I was about 8 - I guess I had grown a little by then. It was that year Norbert was drafted into the Army. I wrote him letters saying we missed him, praying he was safe and would be home soon. I was very proud of him. It seemed only a short while until he was home and getting married. I was a bridesmaid in his wedding. That was very special to me. We enjoyed polka dances together too.
In 1957, I married and moved away from Norfolk. We would only see each other on occasional visits, but always had good times playing cards and reminiscing about our lives with our parents and our family. I will miss him very much but I know that someday I will join him and all our family in heaven.

Here are a few words I would like to offer regarding my uncle, Norbert:
My wife, Iona, and I were saddened to hear of his death this last week. Because I did not live close to Norbert a good portion of my life, I was never able to spend the time with him that I wish I could have. However, in my heart, I always felt a closeness to Norbert, and the Deitloff Clan; and I know my mother, Esther, was very proud of all her brothers and sisters. However, when I was able to talk or visit with him a few times over his many years, he seemed humble, God fearing, and steadfast in his personal beliefs. On occasions, I would feel that nudge telling me “Call Uncle Norbert”, so I would call, knowing that the conversation would be “very”short; he seemed to have something against telephones! I would talk with him one or two minutes, then he would say “Here’s Dolores”. Of course, being such a precious lady, she was always willing to fill us in on what was going on in their lives, and how all the other relatives in Norfolk were doing.
During the times Norbert and Dolores were still RVing, they spent a few seasons hosting at the KOA north of Albuquerque; during this time they came for dinners, ran around with us here and there to places in NM. However, we really got to play “dominoes” so many times with them, and that was fun. Norbert was always ready to play dominoes and beat us at the game! I often wondered how he managed to drive his truck, with a 5th wheel trailer and tow a jeep behind the trailer; we called that a “train.” He and Dolores loved their travelling, and we thank God they were able to enjoy that part of their lives so much. We were blessed to have them nearby for that short period of time and missed them when they were no longer travelling through here.
May God Bless all his family as they face the days ahead, and we pray they will find comfort in the memories they have of him. He was truly a good man, and he will be missed by many. Love, Delmar and Iona Klinetobe and Family
