So sorry to hear about Norman. He was a good guy. My dad, “Curley” always enjoyed his company. I think they had a lot of coffee together back in the day. Sylvia and kids, I’m really sorry for your loss.
Our deepest sympathies go out to the entire Ellis family. Dad(Manford) always enjoyed coffee with Norman. Now he has another coffee drinking buddy in Heaven.
Sylvia – My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.
