To the Twyman family, I was saddened to hear about Norman. I've know him for years as a shopper and later employee of Consumer's and my husband worked with him at Wal-Mart. He was a great guy, always had a smile. He will be missed but you'll see him again. He's at ease now and will always live in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. May God comfort and bless you.

I was so sorry to hear about Norman. I met him at cardiac rehab at BRHC and he was always very nice. He will be missed.
