My sympathy to Carolyn, children and family in the loss of Norman. He was well liked in school and graduated with the Morganton High School class of 1953. We had many class meetings at Timberwoods after graduation and he and Carolyn were always there. He had many health problems along the way and now God has taken care of them.
