We have even more sad news to report today.

Norman Freeman, Class of 1966, passed away at his home in Cocoa, Florida on Saturday, October 3, 2009 at the age of 60. He was the brother of Barbara Freeman Lambert of VA and Diane Freeman Reilly of VA.

Thank you so much, Mike. I read this, but didn't pick up on it. I found Norman pictured with the seniors in the 1966 Anchor rather than the 1967, so I'm placing him with that class, at least for now.

Norman was our best friend. We spent many nights playing pool for the Ponderosa Posse, socializing at Taylor's and the Rack. He will be dearly missed.

Norman was one of the guys I grew up with. We ran hard and enjoyed life! No regrets. Norman was beside me and supported me when I didn't have anything and he did what he could to be a great friend. He never judged me and would tell me when I was wrong but only after I asked him. He never told me what "I had to do" but what he would do when I stopped talking long enough to listen. We had good times together and I still look for him at the counter when I walk into Angelo's .(Just in case)
I will miss his friendship and counsel. He was one of my truly GREAT FRIENDS, like Neil, Dale, Mike and Doug.
I always thought we were going to live forever! Three of our guys are gone now and I hope they are together waiting for the rest of us. Guys like Norman were one of a kind! He was always Norman, no matter where he was or who he was with! My life was a little bit better for having been his friend.
My condolences to his family and friends.

Norm made me feel at home my first day at work a few months ago. He was always the first man on the job. His coffee and conversation always gave me a positive outlook for the day ahead. He had a commanding presence and I miss him. May God Bless him and his family. We will all face this eventual reality someday ourselves and hopefully we will be as well liked and remembered as Norm.
