I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Normand's passing. Remembering fun times at 30 Bauer St, with Mamie & Connie & Normand...HUGE Christmas trees, Mamie's bread, the "Roadmonster"..and Normand always getting away to his beloved Maine. He had a great gravely voice and an infectious laugh. I am sorry that I have not kept in touch him as well as Elly & Skip have, although I have thought of him, enjoying himself in the place he loved...Maine. I am the daughter of Catherine(Bettley)(Lazaro)Hearns and Alfred J. Lazaro.
