I was a customer of Norman for several years back in the 1960's when he had a shop on Monroe just off Church Street. I always liked him. My sincere condolences to the family for your loss.

Norman was the first barber to cut my hair when we moved to Jonesboro in 1960. My grandparents had a cafe there on Church Street. He and Beasley cut my hair until I went into the Air Force. Won't forget that little shop, or the man.
