Mark, Family and Extended Family--

My condolences on the loss of Norm. I always enjoyed him so much. Jeff introduced me to Norm and we immediately hit it off--I think it was because we shared the same crazy occupation! He frequently had words of wisdom for me. And always made me laugh.

Dear Van Groll family,
We were so sad to hear of Grandpa Norm's passing. He was such a wonderful man (as he would always say!!). My kids never forgot the bowl of jelly beans in his "suite" in New Berlin. God bless Norm.
