I worked with Norm at Atmel for seven years. Norm was a very good and gentle man and will be sadly missed by all who knew him. "... for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord ..." - Our blessed hope.

I am sorry to hear that Norman passed away. We both used to go to Merrill's Grove Baptist Church at Fiscus, Iowa.
