I have many happy memories of Norris Hall. What a nice man; and a good friend to my family. He will be fondly remembered. I often recall being riveted as a child with him explaining to us how one day we would be able to see the person on the phone with us! And always that smile and laugh. My condolences to Carolyn and the entire family.

Norris, you were a real joy to be related to. I know you are singing with the angels now. No longer in pain or suffering, but rather rejoicing In the presence of Jesus.
