to Carol, Robin and the grandchildren.....your father, grandfather was a classmate at Mattapoisett Center School. We graduated from 9th grade in 1952 and went on to other schools...the the majority going on to Fairhaven High School. There were 29 in our class.....we were all fond of one another. With his passing, the number is now down to 21.
Norman was fun. My most vivid memories of him are from 5th grade. For many years our class has joined together every 5 years.......most recently in July 0f 2012. We reached out to Norman but, sadly, he did not come. Our thoughts are with you all. Jo Ann

So sorry to hear about Norman's passing. Norman was a member of our Mattapoisett Center School class of 1952 and also was an old customer of mine at our store in North Dartmouth. We had not had contact for many years now, but the memories of us as School mates were always a topic of conversation when we did. I know I speak for all of Norman's Mattapoisett Center School Classmates. Condolences to all of Norman's family and may he rest in peace.

I'm going to miss seeing Norman at the yard sales and will also miss doing business with him. He was honest, and a gentleman. My heartfelt sympathy to his family.
