Norman was my good friend. He was the epitome of “common sense “. He was smart in so many ways. If he didn’t understand something, he would search and read and search more until he did understand it.
I truly believe that he loved my visits with him and I loved visiting with him. During some “lonely low points “ in his life, I would go by and he’d fix us boloney sandwiches for lunch- something simple but so meaningful to him.
After I moved away I did not call or visit him so much and I regret that.
Rest In Peace my brother, I will miss you.
In brotherly love, Ronnie Gantt
