Rusty (and Mike), I'm sorry to read that Rusty has passed. I hope his last years were comfortable after Norm preceded him. I remember the times we would "sleep" in your backyard; I'm sure he came out to check on us many times, only to find us missing. You, Mike, and Carolyn should be proud that your parents were a great example to you and friends to all your friends.

Rusty & Norma were a part of our lives for many years. I always remember our fun times after Softball & going to the Green Goose. They would buy our 3 children peanuts (we didn't have any money). There are so many memories. My love goes to all of you guys (kids to me).
