Gail and familly,
I was really shocked when I heard the news from Jeff. Norm was to young to leave us.
I met Norm pedaling the Detroit News, I was twelve at the time. We spent most of our teens together. I remember spending time at Naomi's house, playing cards in the kitchen, goofing around in his bedroom upstairs. Many happy memories. Norm never lost his sense of humor, he was always a kid at heart.
He's going to be missed. I hope you and the family can find some comfort in the fact that he did not suffer, he went fast. I will pray for you him. I will miss Norm.
