We were deeply saddened to learn of Norman's passing. Norman always seemed to have
a super positve outlook however I think his best quality was his willingness to give
his time to provide help or joy to others. I remember playing many games of table
tennis and golf, time spent painting our house and watching a lot of TV with Norman
and Keith. The legacy of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren Norman leaves
behind is truly amazing, they are all great people. Your family is always in
our thoughts and prayers

Love
Ted, Sande, TJ and Ethan
