You will be sorely missed my cousin. When I think of you I think of the many trips we took up to the Peppersauce cave and the hilarious times we had at Jim Anderson s "Some Place Else" back in the day. I loved you like a brother. I remember the time I asked to have an old pair of your shoes... I was so proud to be wearing them even though they stunk so bad... my Mom was perplexed as to why I would want those old green sneakers.. all I told her was, "these are "Normie's" Mom. It still puts a smile on my face to think about you and the things we did together when we came to visit. I could listen to you all night talking about your Pops and his old Hot Rods! Rest In Peace Norman and I will be looking for you one day. Say "hi" to Maw Maw Sadie and Paw Paw. Glenn

With rue my heart is laden,
For golden friends I've had.
Many a rose lipped maiden
And many a light foot lad.

By brooks too broad for leaping,
the light foot lads are laid.
The rose lipped girls are sleeping
In fields where roses fade.
Love, Sharon

Was so sad to learn of Norman illness and then his passing from one of the other neighborhood kids. I grew up with him and called him friend since 7th grade. First the boys riding bikes everywhere and jumping them in the wash, wrist rockets-the rabbits. Eating at your bar,playing pool at your home.Hanging out.Jacobs park. Going to concerts. Norman has always meant happy memories for me. So sorry that he left so soon.

So sad it is one of the hardest things to have to go through the loss of a child. Normon will always be one of my boys. He was the bet friend to Daryl since they were five years old. He will be missed. So glad he is in no more pain.
