Norman Jaeger

Hard to believe this many years have piled up. Look forward to seeing you in the fulness of the Kingdom. I still remember your garden and critters and how funny you were without trying to being funny. And the pricelss aphroism "if there is no sweat running down your back Idon't want to see your lips moving."

For reasons I cannot explain There's some part of me wants to see Graceland And I may be obliged to defend Every love, every ending Or maybe there's no obligations now Maybe I've a reason to believe We all will be received In Graceland Miss you, Dad.

12 years seems impossible. I would give anything to talk to him again. Yesterday I finally started reading the copy of Les Miserables my dad bought for me about 30 years ago. He told me he'd read it when he was about 10- in one day. (I never believed that.) This may sound a little oversentimental, but reading this now feels like having my dad in my head, like getting to talk with him again, so I'm so grateful it's such a long book. I miss you every day, Dad. I will never get over you, & I...

Dear Friends and Relatives of Norm Jaeger: I recently saw someone who looked very much like Norm and of course it brought back all of the good memories. Hard to believe over a decade has passed. The grands are finishing school (?) I guess by now. Norm so loved them. After working with Norm I'd head back to VA in my trusty Saturn and Norm was making ready to see them in the next day or so and he was blissed out. When you were around Norm, you knew how he felt -- he'd tell you and his face...

I knew that the 10 year anniversary of Norm's death was coming up and this popped up in my email. I still think about Norm and recall fondly all of my interactions with him. I hope all of his family is doing well and that his children and grandchildren have "Shalom' in their lives. I am sure they wish Norm had been around as their lives moved on. As I mentioned in previous posts, he always, and I mean always, talked about you guys and what a delight he had when he saw you. Also, I find...

It is hard to believe that 5 years have passed since Norm died. I knew that he died in 2010 and the fifth anniversary of that sad day was upon us. I know that Norm would love all of the nice, heartfelt things his children have written about him. I still remember when we'd work together during the week,and if he was going to see you guys on the weekend, he'd be like a little kid on Christmas morning looking forward to the visit. He talked about his father a lot, too. I always think of Norm...

Dad
It has been over three years now since you left this earth. It seems fitting that on Father's Day I take the time to reflect on my memories of you . I am not sure that that any person could pen the words that match who and what you were as a father.
I will be so fortunate as a father if my children hold me a fraction of the love and esteem that I hold for you.
There is nothing of any merit that I posess that is not a result of you being my father. During the last three...
