Mike , I am so sorry for your loss. I met Norman when he was with you as you headed to one of his games. What a gentle and kind young man ! I remember you talking about Norman at work as you serviced equipment for us . Such a proud dad and such a great son. Please know that he is with Judy and will be waiting for the time you are together again . God Bless you and your family! Bob & Kris Edwards

Mike, I am sadden to see this obituary. I loved Norman and his infectious smile and his always giving 100 percent effort in his athletics. I loved coaching him. I will not be able to attend the service as Tom and I are leaving on a trip Tuesday. God bless, Maria Bertolucci Steele
