I will miss Norman, his friendship was very dear to me. I've known him since we lived next door on Eastern Ave in South Deerfield. When my son was growing up, he knew him as Uncle Norman. I remember land surveying with him. I will always remember this great guy.

Sorry to see a fellow Lithuanian New Englander go! We never met, but he was always kind and cheerful via our email conversations as we tried to figure out how we came to share 25 cM of DNA. Rest in peace, Norman.
