Norman G Kirsch

Marilyn and family,
I am heart broken to learn of Norm's passing. May his memory be a blessing forever. I carry a #530 master link from the motorcycle chain that carried me to 2411 S. Milwaukee at all hours of the night for our visits. I think of Norm and all the great times we had every day when I handle that link like the trip to the floor of Grand Canyon of The Gunnison and Long's Peak.I will always remember Kovel riding on the back of my 550 at The Teton's and when you and Norm pooled a bunch of quarters so I could rinse a weeks' worth of motorcycle road detrius off my foul smelling body! Norm always said my boot encased feet were the worst despite them getting bathed in every rainstorm I rode through. I remember his hearty laughter when we stopped at rest areas and the first thig I did was dump the water from my soaked boots! Norm was one of the best, most memorable characters I have ever been friends with and I am so sorry for the loss. He will stay with me forever especially when I ride my neighbors Ducati and imagine him back there riding pillion with an ear to ear grin and telling me to slow down!

I´m sorry we never got a chance to reconnect after I got sick. I can´t count how many calls we ran together out of the grapevine fire station. You were always one of my favorite people to work with and talk to. Rest easy, friend.
