I was so amazed at how caring and unselfish Norm was. Throughout the fall of 1992, Norm and I started talking about how challenging and interesting it would be to own and maintain a repeater. He always joked that if I was crazy enough to want that kind of responsibility, he wouldn't try to talk me out of it. As the system grew and members came and went, everyone who knew Norm realized just how special a person he really was. I will not ever be able to go up to either repeater site and not see Norm's works and contributions.
Norm continues to live in all of our memories and in all of our hearts.
I am sorry that I was not in town to be with him during his final days. However, I have to think that he would want us all to remember him as we knew him, not how he spent those final days. I miss him dearly.
