In these perilous times, it's pertinent to listen to the voices of those who have experienced war during our country's past. Norman Kittrell and h is wife, Joy, are actively involved with Trinity Episcopal Church in Houston and have attended St. John's in Breckenridge for many years where Norman has been a lay reader, chalice bearer, and worked extensively with St. John's landscaping. FIVE STEPS IN THE STORY OF A FORTUNATE YOUNG MAN Norman Kittrell completed his high school education in February 1942, at the age of sixteen, shortly after Pearl Harbor. He went to work in Texaco's Houston office and attended the University of Houston at night. In early 1943, at the age of seventeen, he joined the US Marine Corps. The key word is joined as contrasted to being drafted. His serial number, 520734, was noticed by old time marines as not one of the 90000 plus numbers given to draftees - so he attained status. After Boot Camp in San Diego, Norman was further trained at Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, California. By July 1943, he found himself on a troop ship to New Zealand on his way to join the Second Marine Division. The following November, his division captured Tarawa from the Japanese. Over 1000 marines died in this bloody battle that gained a small, mid Pacific atoll on the road to Japan. However, for Norman, it was his first fortunate step - his company was turned back to the troop transport on the first day and instead, landed on day two! The Second Marine Division moved on to the big island of Hawaii for more training and re-staffing. Before the division left Hawaii, Norman was transferred to the Sixth Marine Division and sent by LST to Guadalcanal - his second fortunate step - because the Second Division landed on Saipan, where Norman's former unit was overrun by a Japanese counter attack. After a few weeks on Guadalcanal, Norman was recognized as having potential for advancement, and was selected for V-12 education and training, his third fortunate step. In the fall of 1944, he returned to the States and was sent to Colorado College in Colorado Springs. After two semesters, he was selected for engineering education and transferred to the University of California at Berkeley, California, his fourth fortunate step. V-J Day in August 1945 ended the war. At the conclusion of the university semester, in late 1945, Norman received his Honorable Discharge from the Marines, his fifth fortunate step. Norman states that in wartime, the control one has over his life is almost nonexistent. His experience was one of the most fortunate of those in any branch of the military. His was a short period of real danger and a time to gain both experience and education on which he built the rest of his life. Norman Kittrell feels, looking back at World War II, that so many things could have been done better. This is the case with many things and it's easy to second guess after the whole story is available. The history of the Civil War, World War I, as well as those since, shows that weapons improve faster than the generals know how to fight. We needlessly kill a great many soldiers on both sides. Norman often wonders how it would go if the United States put the resources used to fight terrorism with weapons into helping people with food and education. Maybe if we did that, the local people would be on our side. In any case, he doesn't believe the United States should go to war without trying every available means to accomplish its objectives without war.

    Tribute
    A fourth generation Texan, Norman Goree Kittrell III, age 93, passed peacefully into eternal life on July 31, 2019. He was born in Houston, Texas, on August 26, 1925, to adoring parents Maidel Baker and Pleasant Williams Kittrell. Beloved husband, father, and grandfather, he will be greatly missed. Always loving, always giving, and always patient, he was an outstanding role model for all who were blessed to love and know him.

    Trinity Episcopal Church in downtown Houston was a huge influence on his life for a large part of his early years through high school at San Jacinto High and after retirement. The Kittrell family were founders of Trinity (the family home was close by), and he carried on this legacy. He held various church positions from serving weekly breakfasts to the homeless through his work with “Lord of the Streets” to President of the Trinity Church Endowment for a number of years. His last volunteer ministry at the church was helping church members plan their loved ones’ funerals and memorial services. He faithfully attended church every Sunday until recently when he was physically unable to do so.

    A graduate of the University of Texas in 1948 with a petroleum engineering degree, his 45 year long career with Texaco brought him and his young family to Denver, Colorado, for 16 years, then to Texaco’s offices in the Chrysler Building in New York City, and later to the company’s new headquarters in Harrison, New York. He became President of Texaco International Exploration and traveled for business extensively overseas. He and his wife Joy enjoyed their travels abroad and also their vacation home in Breckenridge, Colorado, where they spent summers for many years. As late as his early 80’s, Norman could be found snow skiing with his children and grandchildren. During their time in Breckenridge, he and Joy were active at St. John’s Episcopal Church.

    He loved the Colorado Rockies and was an avid fisherman, hiker, and mountain climber. He was able to hike and backpack all over Colorado and the United States with his son Norman and his son’s wife Frances. In his 60’s, he began hiking and climbing overseas. He completed a memorable hike with his friend Jack Baldwin to the base camp of Mt. Everest.

    A World War II veteran, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps at age 17. He said that his time in the military for him was a short period of real danger and a time to gain both experience and education on which he built the rest of his life. He lived his life humbly and gratefully. Many people, strangers included, often remarked on his generous, kind, and helpful spirit.

    He is survived, in his words “best deal I ever made”, by the love of his life, Joy Joyce, his wife of 70 years; his son, Norman Goree Kittrell IV and wife Frances of Houston; his daughters Kathy Tally Schweiger and husband Paul of Austin; and Susan Kittrell Engelstad of Denver, Colorado. He is also survived by five grandsons, one granddaughter, and two great grandsons; Blake Kittrell Tally and wife Brooke and their son Jaden (Austin); Layne Russell Tally and wife Abby (Santa Monica, CA.); Norman Goree Kittrell V and wife Kate (Wash D.C.); Jeffrey Lyall Engelstad and wife May and their son Teddy (Denver); Erik Monroe Engelstad (Denver); and Samantha Joy Engelstad (Denver). He is also survived by his sister, Lida K. Barrett; his cousin Charles Giraud and wife Pamela; and numerous nephews and nieces.

    A Memorial Service and Celebration of his life will be announced at a future time. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial gifts be made to Trinity Church Endowment, 1015 Holman, Houston, Texas 77084.

    Norman was indeed a generous and kind person. He was a mentor to me during our time together at Trinity. Heaven has another angel.
