Amy, Jim and Vickie, sorry for your loss he was a great family man. The service yesterday touched on many of Norman's values and how much he loved family. But on a lighter thought I can see Norman hauling a load of pipe thru the pearly gates Ray LeMasters waiting to unload it and Fred Brewer complaing the whole time it was in the wrong place !
