Norman's dad and my dad were first cousins. I remember learning that Norman and his family lived within walking distance of my house at our family reunion in 1981. At that time I was was busy collecting information and memorabilia for the family history which was finally completed after I retired.

Phyllis & family,
My heart goes out to you Phyllis. You have been so strong thru all this. You gave Norm the spirit of fight to go on. I have always thought you two were joined at the hip. You were inseperable. I knew Norm more as Phyllis's husband because she & I were childhood friends. I always marveled at the times I would be there in their house.
