I will miss forever my best fried and companion for the past 45 years. I have never known anyone that could create laughter in seconds from a group of friends or strangers in a matter of minutes. I have always felt better after having spending an outing with Norm.


Look out Heaven ! Get ready for some one liners.


I'll see again...keep Friday nights open.


God Bless!....Lew
