I just found out about Norris death. He was stationed with me in Germany while we were in the army. I had been down to see him about 2 or 3 times after we got out and asked him to come up to Pa. To see me, but he never did. Any how, you have my sincerest sympathy for his loss. He was a great guy and I thought about him a lot and hoped to come see him again, but my age and health kept me from doing so. Just wanted to extend my sympathy
