Cecilia:
I ,Bill Swerid worked for Norm years ago,now my daughter Sheila lives across the street from you and Norm when you both lived on francis St. Sheila said Norm took her under his wing when she moved here. Him and I talked a lot when we saw each other and i can"t believe what has happened !!!!
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Norm. He was a wonderful neighbour who went out of his way to treat me with kindness and concern but more importantly he was a truly wonderful man who always had time for others. He will be sadly missed.
