Dear June, Karen, John and Grandchildren:
Judy and I are so very saddened to hear of the loss of such a dear husband, father and grandfather as Norm. Words do not seem enought to express how we feel about your family and Norm. We will always cherish the the memories and good times we had with Norm and June, visiting them in their home on Riverside Dr. Norm always took great pleasure in listening to our stories about vacation places we had been and he especially like to here Fire Department stories. I truly enjoyed working with Norm in the Fuel Oil Business, he was a great man to work for. Norm will be greatly missed. June and Karen, we pray that God will give you peace and comfort at this time of grief and that God’s Blessings be with you and your Family forever and in so many ways.
All our Love
Ron & Judy Kelly
June, Karen and John:
I am sad to hear of your loss. The Happy Gang years, when we were all younger, provide many wonderful memories. Although time and distance have caused us to not see you in many years, I still think of your family often. I pray that you find peace and comfort in this time.
God bless you all.
