I have many fond memories of working with Norman at Hayes Post Office. He truly was a leader among a group of strong and determined women. He was small in statue but had the heart of a giant. He was so proud of Shirley, his children and grandchildren. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you as we mourn the loss of a co-worker and friend.
