I'd like to offer sympathy and condolences.

'Uncle Norman' was a huge part of our lives growing up and I am grateful that he was part of it. He was kind and generous and always good natured. His family gifts to the Beauchenes over the years, from the ping-pong table, to the tobogan, to his general presence and skill at the card table were much appreciated and long remembered. He had a positive effect on our lives .... I will miss him.
