Dear Lisa, Laurie and Matt,
It was with great sorrow that I read of Norman's passing. We worked for many years together on Saturdays at the Stock Market. Norman was a great person to work with and was always nice to his coworkers and customers.
We had been in touch only a few times, but he was in my thoughts a lot. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to know him.
My thoughts are with you all, may God be with you in your sorrow.
