This is sad news. The last time we visited with Norman was a lobster dinner on the docks in Wickford Aug 07. We had a wonderful evening. That is a good memory and a good way to remember Norman.

I don't know if you remember back that far but I lived in the house next to the water tower when we all lived in Alton.
I'm so sorry to see that your Dad passed away. I remember him well from all the times I played over at your house. Those were some fun days and I always will fondly remember those times and your family. You have my deepest sympathy and my prayers.
