Norm was a friend for many years, we never met face to face, but when I lived in Connecticut was within a few miles of his home. That was 25 years ago since I moved to Florida, and I spoke to Norm many times on the phone and in the various iterations of this forum..

He was a real gentleman, and a strong financial supporter of the forum over the years. He was well off and generous in his support. He even made a large donation to our last fund drive although he was in the hospital and in great pain. He knew it would be his last contribution. He will be missed, I will surely miss him, but at least his pain that he endured so bravely is now over.
