I joined the AF Reserves at age 17, in 1967. The 31st Aeromedical Sq transferred from flying propeller cargo planes at McClellan to become the 65th. Sq at Travis AFB. Captain then Major Haynes was my commanding officer. He frequently would call me while I attended UC Berkeley, to see if I would be willing to fly on a week-end to Hickam AFB, Honolulu. I always respected him for being honest, upfront, patriotic, what you see - is what you get kind of person. My sincere condolences on your family great loss. Ted Nishio

Lu and I were very sad to learn of Norm's passing. Ironically, she and I were just speaking of him this past weekend and the kindness he showed the then "Amn Toth" when she was loaned to 4th AF from the 940th. Had that not have happened, it's likely that she and I would not have met and later married.
Norm was always a font of knowledge, a get it done guy, and a great softball buddy (which was a good thing as I was crappy at tennis and golf!) After we moved the NAF back to March ARB, we stayed in touch. Lu and I hope those who attend Norm's celebration of life this weekend spend the time telling great Stormin' Norman stories. There are certainly enough great ones to fill an encyclopedia! May our brother rest in peace and the Good Lord bring comfort to his family and friends. Deke and Lu DeCubellis
