Big Norm and or Senior Chief,
May the good Lord Bless you and keep you throughout eternity along side “your Ruth” sir. Thanks for being a friend, mentor, fellow Senior Chief, and someone to talk to when I needed it from time to time during my tenure at AGH Jr. cemetery. I hope you were able to give my son (Mason) a hug after you passed through the pearly gates and hugged Mrs.Ruth and some of your family! Bless you for your service and total devotion to the veterans cemetery and your community. You made the world a better place, sir. We are truly disheartened by your passing, but have faith that we will be reunited with you again eventually. With the utmost respect and gratitude for your lasting presence.
Very Respectfully,
