      Todd and Kyle, we send our deepest condolences.  We were devastated to hear of Norm's passing.  We met Norm through our daughter Morgan and spent many Saturday nights with him at Texas Roadhouse.  He was a pleasure to be around and filled our evenings with entertaining stories.  He spoke so highly of you and how proud he was of his boys.  We are thankful to have had the privilege of knowing Norm.  He will truly be missed.
