My condolences and prayers for the family. Norm and and I graduated air traffic control school in May of 1961. He was a Tin Man (an air traffic controller that can move heavy air traffic safely and expeditiously). We have stayed in touch all these years. He was a good friend of mine and I will miss him a lot.
