Please forgive the type-o's and the double posting ... I thought the Times Argus hadn't printed my first note after several hours, so I sent another from my husband's phone. I really apologize.

We were so sorry to learn of Noemans passing. My sisters and I surely remember his peanut butter fudge and just yesterday I showed my daughter some pillow cases he had made. I just wish I had seen the obituary in time to attend the service.

I was so sad to see in today's paper that Norman had passed. Not only was he a devoted and cherished employee of Moot Woodturnings, but a friend, as well. How well my sisters and I remember his peanut butter fudge! And amazingly, just yesterday I showed my daughter some pillow cases that Norman had made me! I only wish I'd seen this obituaray before today, so I could have attended his service.
