Fritz and I were so sorry to hear of Norm's passing. We enjoyed so many cruises with you,Charlotte, and Norm. He called Fritz "Sarge" and the two of them had fun ribbing each other about their different branches of the military. Please accept our condolences.

Your body is quiet now now, your spirit is soaring. My life is so much richer because you are my uncle. Our family was blessed to spend summer vacations with your hilarious antics at Balboa Island! Your kind, generous legacy continues in your 3 children, my cousins. You are missed, dear uncle.

To say Norm was a wonderful man is an understatement. He and Charlotte always made us feel so at home while there doing taxes. I lost my Joe last Sept.20, and there's no doubt he and Norm are in heaven talking football! My deepest condolences on your great loss. God bless you and my love to Charlotte.
