I have, unfortunately, only met Norman one time, when I was visiting the states back in 2014. What a nice guy he was. I had a lot of fun together with him when we went out on seightseeing. He told me many funny stories. I'm so glad that I ever met him. You will be missed Norman. Love from Kris, Denmark

One of the best. The most loving, giving, gentle man I've ever known. Many memories of my childhood include him.He was my godfather. He was the clown, the one that stuck up for you, the one that went the extra mile to make you laugh. You will be missed Uncle Norman.

Norman was a very special, loving, caring man, who adored his wife, and daughter Kathy. It was always a joy to see him, and receive his warm welcome and hear his gentle soft voice. My children would love to sit around and hear him tell stories about his life, which were true and hysterical. What a treat that was for them, which they considered better than the candy he always was offering. A great loving man that will be missed by many. Love you very much Norman.
