To all the family, I know you will miss Norm very much. I remember sitting at the Crafts' dining room table with "Uncle" Norm on many occasions. He listened when I talked and encouraged me to follow my dreams. I thank God for those special times. Ann Wisniewski Harrington

We're just a leaf the wind blows in this great journey called life.
Pop-Pop rests in heaven, he has gone to another world and how and I remember him is with great affection and tenderness.
I had little time to know him, but through his beautiful wife Kathryn (grandma), Richard, Janice, Ian and Jesi, my gorgeous exchange family in 1994 – 1995; I could see how wonderful and great human been was Norman, grandpa.
We all will feel the light of his existence in our hearts forever.
My condolences to all his family and friends.
Love,
