Michelle:
I was very sorry the hear about your Dad. It just seemed like the other day we were talking about some problems he was having.
Having recently watched my own father succumb to health issues, I can relate to what you are likely feeling. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your Mom, and family. If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to ask.

You could not have asked for a better neighbor or friend, Norbert was always the first to offer his help. I"am sorry I could not be there, I would have been proud to be part of his Honor Gaurd but duty called, being a Marine I'am sure he would understand. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Joyce, Michelle, Jason, Donald and Cate,
We all feel the same pain for the loss of a very special person. Norbert left our lives too early, but he was very brave and accepted the peace and tranquility in his eternal resting place.
He will always be a part of our lives and we will never forget him. We will always remember his generosity, his handy-know-how and his enthusiasm to help family and friends when in need. He left an impression with all of us that will be cherished and remembered forever.
He will be sadly missed.
Love,
David and Suzanne Card

Aunt Joyce, Don & Michelle,
I wish I could be there with you guys. I love Uncle Norbert very much and will miss him terribly. He was an incredible man. I remember when a tree went through our porch in South Carolina due to Hurricane Hugo, and he drove down, took the tree apart, fixed the porch and left. He was always willing to do what he could for anyone who needed it and never asked for anything in return. I always admired him. My heart is with you all. I love you guys.

Norbert was an exceptional individual. He never mentioned much about his purple hearts. He was a friend that I will miss.

I will never forget Norbert. He use to deliver the mail at John Hope Settlement House. He was always kind and thoughtful to all of us. When he found out that we didn't have ballet bars for our dance class, he made them and donated them to us at no charge. We enjoyed seeing Norbert everday. Others here remember him because he always invited them to his home to have a good time. We would like to express our deepest sympathy to his family. Norbert touched our lives and we will ever remember him for the good man that he was.

We love you and wish we could be with you when you need us the most.
Love,
