We shall always remember the great experiences we had with Norman at the Westbrook Elks. A gentleman in every way, his smile and wit were a real challenge.

My wife Ruth mentioned that in all the years we had worked on a favorite activity that Norman enjoyed, the Black Tie Formal Holly Ball at Christmas Time and the year he was the Exalted Ruler the day after that Holly Ball Norman was on our front steps here at home with a lovely floral arrangement for the wonderful times he had at that function.
We will certainly miss him but never forget him.

Rest my Brother, Peace be with you!
