He was always a great neighbor when I was growing up. He always had a warm and welcoming home. Loved the popcorn. His children were some of my best friends. Would love to make contact with Carmella.
Blessings,

I will always and forever remember my very dear and loved friend. Norbert shared so many wonderful and special times with me. We went to Canada for a beautiful retreat and many special dinners and times together! He was a rock for me so many times. It was wonderful getting to know his children and working with them preparing for weddings at the Manor and special events. Norbert you will always have a special place in my heart. I will truly miss you my friend.
