I only recently learned of Norm´s passing since I am a lung transplant patient and do not go out as much as I used to. Norm and I shared a love for classic cars and showed our cars together at the Midnight at the Oasis a couple of times. Norm was also my nail carrier for several years and always took the time to stop for a quick chat, about cars of course, when he came by our house. Norm was also a brother, a fellow Marine and we often shared stories of our time in the Corps. I am so deeply saddened to hear of his passing and send my condolences to his family.. God bless your soul brother Semper Fi
