I have missed talking to my Uncle Norb in the last year or so. We always had interesting and musical items to discuss. As we share entertaining musically, it is easy to see what great fulfillment he has provided to make so many happy with his talent. If there's a polka party in heaven, I'm sure he'll be sitting in with his sax and clarinet. With sympathy to Aunt Lor and Nancy and family.
