Norm was physical therapist for my kids at the Easter Seal Center back in the 60's. Denise Gibson, now 59, and Dale Gibson, now 55 years old. I so enjoyed visiting with him when I took the kids for therapy. Both Denise and Dale remember him, Denise more than Dale since she was older at the time.
Our sincere sympathy to you all---Norm was a good man and very helpful with Dale and Denise.

Barb:
We send our sympathy to you and your family. We are in Florida, or we would be at the visitation and extend our sympathy personally. Norm was one of the most respected members of ATO at Simpson.

I was sorry to learn of Norm's death. After attending many KHS reunions he seemed to be part of our class of '48.
