    Norm was a great classmate who I got to know even better as a dad during my time at BHCS/SJCC. Was a blessing to see him this past Thanksgiving and he will be forever remembered. Prayers for his wife and children

    I’m so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Norman and the Cook family. I hadn’t seen Norman in a few years but would run into him once in a while when our kids were young and enjoyed chatting with him. He was a kind and gentle man and so proud of his family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
