All my love and sympathy to you and yours,Mary Ann Jones and Family.

Josie: My sincere sympathy on the passing of your husband and life long friend. I didn't know Norm that long but long enough to know what a great man he was. God Bless you and your family.

pop pop words can express how much you meant to me, I love you with all my heart & miss you so much, you were truly an amazing man! I'm so sorry I wasn't able to be there I know God has gained another angel and you will always be watching over me I will never forget everything you taught me Growing up, until we meet again I love you your grandson Matthew

Rest in peace Dad.

My father was a great man, he taught me patience and to be optimistic even when things may seem otherwise. His greatest sayings among many, though others said if first was "To thy known self be true," and "It isn't what you've lost that matters, but what you have left that counts."

He was my mentor and a friend who taught me the true meaning of sacrifice, unselfishness and "It is what it is, but that is no excuse not to try and do the right thing." I may not have always listen, but the lessons learned from it was really part of his point.

A war hero who had ice in his veins he never complained, and when he was wounded in WWII the first time he was shot he had the chance to come home but didn't want to leave his brothers in harms way nor did he want to leave what he believed was unfinished business with the Germans. It would cost him his forearm in that battle known as "Operation Shingle" in Italy. It was his influence that encourage me to join the Marines to serve my country too.

You will be missed, but never forgotten - we celebrate your life and the legacy you leave with those you influenced for the better. We love you. God speed.

With love always, your son -
Michael
