One thing I just want to say about Norman was that when I came to his house to ask him questions for my job that I do and when I got to his house he always put a smile on his face and he loved it when there was guest in his house and he always told us to come in. One thing about Norman was he loved to go to special Olympics with his house mates and he always wear his metals to goodwill to show every one.

I had the pleasure of meeting Norman years ago when I worked at Spfld Clinic. I enjoyed his storys and looking over his metals and whatever he may have brought along with him. He would always have his great smile when he walked into the room. Condolences to his family and friends.
