Norman and I were cousins and big buddies when he was living in Bellevue. You could always count on him for help when you needed it. I liked him very much, and always made sure to visit him when I went to Alabama. I will sure miss him. I am sure he is in heaven with his Mom and Dad whom he loved most.
