Diane and Gary, so sorry for your loss. Your parents were so much fun. I remember in Jr. High teasing your Dad by singing that song "Norman" to him and the laughter we shared. He was a delightful man. May you find comfort in your memories of him. Prayers,

Diane and Gary, I was sad to learn that Norman died. He was a great man, respected and revered by everyone. I worked with him for the six years prior to his retirement and he taught me more about business than any MBA program could have. Norman had a dry, wicked sense of humor that I enjoyed. The world has lost a great man. I'm glad I knew him.
