Norman will be missed. He was a quiet observer of life and contributed to those around him with a wry sense of humor. Norman enjoyed sports and was a radio sports announcer for several years. He awed everyone with his ability to remember the names of players and their batting records. He also enjoyed football and horse racing He was sometimes called upon to announce horse racing events. Norman spent many summers visiting our family in Dinuba, California which included his brother George and sister-in-law Alice and his nephew Raymond and myself. Over the years Norman visited us often spending most holidays and special events with our families in Fresno and Oceanside. We will miss his ready smile. He was a good uncle. Linda and Don DeVere
