I was looking for Norm on the net just now who was my best friend in HS and I saw this and am extremely sad to hear the news about Wayne. I only knew him through Norm but he was always spoken of in the highest regard. Rest in peace Wayne. And if anyone knows how I can reach Norm please let me know of let him know Paul is looking for him and would love to connect again. My sincere condolences to the whole family.
