To my Beautiful Cousins, and my wonderful Aunt Margie, there is nothing that can be said to comfort you in such a tragic loss, and I just want you to know that My Uncle Norman was a wonderful influence in my life, and his interest in electronics, and music, and his encouragement to see the world in its technical aspects helped me tremendously when I was at a crossroads in my life, His handing over his popular mechanics magazines, saying "Look at this..what do you think of that?"..feeding my interest and curiousity of the world, is something I will remember,along with his hours of sitting me down and as a child teaching me to tell time by understanding the movement of the hands of a clock!! It sounds lame today..but he was a wonderful influence, and a very intelligent man, he will be sorely missed. Deepest Condolences at our Loss, Love Cousin Rickey.

Dear Norine,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today and always. I wish there was something I could do or say that would ease the pain. I do understand what you are feeling today. One thought I will offer and it has helped me many times is
to hear the sound of your dads laughter and when times get really tough and you are really down, hear him laugh and I hope that this will bring a smile to your face.
I am sending you hug's and more hugs.

Such a loss. I always looked forward to our verbal debates that held no fear of lasting retribution. Funny, energetic, caring and brutally honest. The finest qualities in a person that we all were able to enjoy for such a long time. You will be missed Toots.
