My Friend, Masonic Brother & my Brother in Arms, Meeting you was meant to be. You were a Masonic mentor to me as a few others were. Being a Friend and both of us looking out for each other was the best. I was taught at an early age to respect and look after my elders and looking out for you Norm was FUN. Always a laugh no matter what the Great Architect of the Universe threw at you. I am Blessed to have gone on this journey with you, I just wished it lasted a little longer. You’re at Peace finally. Drop some ducks off after your next hunting trip. Till we see each other in Valhalla R.I.P. my Brother. 🇺🇸🫡
