I wanted to let you all know how deeply sorry I am for your loss. I have known Norman and his family since I was about 5 years old. I spent most of my summers hanging out at at there home with Aile. He was such a careing loving man. He treated me like one of his own and I will never forget him. I know he is no longer in pain anymore and hopefully up there with my dad just hanging out. I know your hearts are breaking and it will slowly get better in time. Even though the void of him being gone will never be filled just know he is watching over all of you. And wanting you to continue to live life to the fullest. RIP Norman you will never be forgotten and always in our hearts. There are so many stories I could tell but I know everyone knew how much you loved and cared for your whole family. Love you!

I remember back in 1965 we'd buy every new Rolling Stones record the minute they'd hit the shelf and go over to Norm's house on Main St. in Spencer to play the records until late into the night. Those were great times - between '65 and '69 - I've never forgotten them. RIP, bro, from a long ago pal.

I will miss you!! I will remember all the great times we had! Beetlejuice, talking out of butts (my favorite), teaching me how to drive (sorry I scared you), oh and the time I accidentially let go of your favorite fishing pole and we spent hours in the water trying to find it. I could go on and on. Thanks for the memories and being such a wonderful dad!! I love you!
