Miss Judy, Miss Michelle, Miss Beth and Mr Neal,



I was quite surprised to hear of Mr Norm's passing. We will remember all of you in our prayers.



Even though it has been several years since Elizabeth has been at Minee Subee, she still talks about it frequently and has many friendships that started there, right away in the infant room.



Thank you again for all of your caring and teaching. Continue your good work. You will now have an angel in heaven watching over all of you.



Respectfully,



Larry, Mary and Elizabeth Butler

I heard of Norm's passing through Intuit (where I work in the Intuit Developer Program group). I didn't know Norm but after reading this obituary I wish I had; he sounds like a truly good person. I extend my deepest sympathy on his loss.

Dear Judy,



Seeing Norm's obituary today brought back many fond memories of the Wildwood Lane parties and the Wheeling Jaycees of the 1960's.

His drive and success at getting things done was evident even back then. Do you remember his showing us your Gallstones that he had preserved in a jar. What a guy!!!



Our condolences to you and your family.
