Gosh, where to begin...Norman was a huge part of my childhoodand I have so many fond memories. My mom and dad would plan a Sunday with your mom and dad and it was always so exciting! Usually we'd have a BBQ/picnic at a park and then the best part...fishing. Norman taught me how to fish and I'll never forget that. He was always patient with me and baited my hooks! I am saddened to hear of his passing. My prayers are with you, Dean and family and Roger and Mary Ann. RIP my fishing buddy.
