    Hi to the family of Norbert. Sorry to hear of this passing. I lived up the street from him & his family. I was closer to Jerry, Jack & George. Most of us were poor, but we made the most of what we had. I think that is why, Norbert went into the service? Us kids had open doors to most of the kids that lived there. Jack was my age & we spent time going swimming or playing cowboys & Indians. Buy that time, Norbert may have been gone, he was 11 years older than I. Norbert worked with my husband, Tom at, Topline. He was always smiling & a man who could talk with anyone. U should be very proud, of his service to U & the US. I pray that he knew the Lord as his Savior? And that one day U will see him again? I hope too. The Bible says, Absent from the body, present with the Lord. If U are not sure about, Ur relationship, just ask , seek, & find. God be near in Ur loss.

      Thanks for your very kind words. During the last few months, I visited my Dad often. When he was coherent, he talked about his service in the military. I have come to realize that perhaps the reason for his irradiate behavior, when we were kids, had to do with trauma he suffered during his military career. He was in two major theaters, and I believe he saw things that no one should see. Some people can handle it, some cannot. We now call it PTSD. The Korean Conflict is one of the most mysterious conflicts in US history. But he was a proud veteran. Dad made many many mistakes in his life. But then again, we all do. You are right when you said growing up, everyone was poor. And when you mean poor, you mean really poor! His mother and father were doing the best they could, but not enough. I have heard the stories. I just couldn’t imagine going through what those boys went through.

      But through it all, my Dad was always a positive friendly guy. Take care.
