In Reno on Oct 5th, Natalie Cole sang "Smile" in the hotel lobby. Frank sang "the best is yet to come" in the hallways. You were there keeping us safe and happy!

Normie, I miss our Sunday evening chats, catching up on family news, sports, jokes and your inimitable take on current events. And regardless of how long or short those conversations were, you were always so appreciative and I always felt better for having taken the time. Missing you! Love, Richie

One of Norm’s wishes was to have his ashes brought to Hawai‘i. Since our April return from the family reunion in his honor, Jane and I have kept his ashes amongst our literary treasures on Hawaiiana.
With his upcoming 91st birthday on July 5th, we thought that it would fitting to send Norm to that place where the Sea meets the Heavens. We have chosen Laupahoehoe Point here on the Big Island of Hawai‘i. So on that Thursday morning we will bid him farewell with a wish for fair winds and following seas….
