If he was right with Jesus, he is.

God probably has already assigned Chuck to train St. Micheal.

Seems to have lived a long productive life with a quick demise.

“a quick demise”

The two things that come to mind are heart attack of brain aneurism.

The guy was obviously in great shape his whole life so that leaves the latter.....of course anything is possible.

Apparently, the angels at the Gate got worried about security and needed to recruit someone really tough and Chuck volunteered.

From all accounts he was a good man.

I’m sure he’s heading up.

Speaking of infamous people — Mel Gibson had some stem cell treatment. Shoulders I think to keep him going.
Mel Gibson’s father at 92 was told to die, yet stem cells are claiming he lived to 102, cause of.

I was just thinking about Mr. Norris a day or two ago…about what an incredible man he is. Truly, I’ve never heard any ā€œbadā€ celebrity gossip about him; he had a long marriage to his wife and stayed, quite literally, by her side when she went through a long illness. He just always seemed to be a genuinely good man; loved and admired by people in a way similar to Dolly Parton…like he was something of a national treasure. A man who stayed conservative and true to his values; a man who loved the Lord, most importantly.

God bless you, Mr. Norris. Thank you for the decades you gave us. God bless your beautiful wife and family in both these times of sorrow and, hopefully, rejoicing. Well done, good and faithful servant.
