Norman L. McClintock, age 84 of Elwood, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 16, 2018 surrounded by his family at home following an extended illness.  He was born May 23, 1934 in Hamilton County, the son of Clarence G. and Christina "Pearl" (Smeltzer) McClintock.  He was a 1953 graduate of Jackson Central High School in Hamilton County.  He married the love of his life, Marilyn "Sue" Newton, later that year on December 4, 1953, and they shared nearly 65 years of marriage together.  In his younger years, Norman worked with the Civil Defense Corps.  To Norman's family, he was always known as "Johnnie".  Norman was the owner and operator of McClintock's Radio Sales in Elwood for over 50 years, and he never retired.  He still worked in the business he loved so much, and he enjoyed working at his shop on the west edge of Elwood and interacting with his customers.  Norman also formerly worked as a supervisor at Westinghouse and worked at the Ford Motor Co. plant in Indianapolis.  Norman formerly attended the Arcadia Church of the Brethren, and in recent years he attended Omega Christian Church as his health permitted.  He was formerly an active member of several area CB Clubs, and his CB handle was "Indiana Redbird".  He and Sue also owned and operated the Washington School Antique Mall for several years.  Norman enjoyed western and cowboy movies and history.  He had lots of fun traveling with his brother, Don, to several cowboy conventions where they met stars such as John Hart, "The Lone Ranger".  They also enjoyed visiting the Roy Rogers museum.  More than anything, Norm was devoted to caring and providing for his family.
