The Howell family extends our condolences to the Norman family .John used to frequent my Dads business; (The Corner) We had a lot of fun together. I will never forget the day that John and my Dad hooked up the new tv that Dad bought to 220.
It was to be hooked to 110 !!! We still laugh about that when we get together. Neither one would accept the blame. John was more family than friend. With love to your family. God bless;

Boyzie, John W. Norman IV, when he was little, pushed me around in my baby carriage. Mom, May Norman Keith, baby sat, while his dad, John W. Norman III worked at Letterkenny. I'll miss him. Alan Norman Keith
