Very sorry to learn of Norm's passing.
My best memories of Norm was him playing center field on our fast pitch softball team. As the pitcher for the team, I always felt confident that Norm would catch any thing that came his way. He was an excellent player.
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
