Meeting Norman many years ago was a good thing. I met him through the Fire Company. He always had a smile and a happy word or two. I knew of his illness and am very sorry to hear of his passing. God bless his soul. May his family find Consolation in God our Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Good bye old friend.
