To My Dear Friend Gail Honey and the Shinsky Family,

I truly can not remember the first time I met your Dad, but what I do remember is meeting a man who I knew instantly was a kind, hardworking, family man who raised a wonderful family and built a business any person would be proud of. He was an easy man to be around, a down to earth, no nonsense kind of guy.

While I don't remember the first time I met him, I do remember the last time we were together. We went to the Memorial Day Parade in downtown Lorain this past May. We sat him down on the corner so he could have a good view and we all enjoyed as the parade passed us by. A fellow veteran, his pride was evident. We attempted to walk home but unfortunately that wasn't possible. In addition to the parade we had a couple of family dinners together and enjoyed each others company. I could see that Gabe and Norb had a special relationship and managed to snap a picture of the two of them.

I'm happy that Jeff was able to meet your Dad in Pensacola a couple of years ago. He referred to your Dad as "Coach", though I'm not sure why. But, if it was in reference to being a person who gave good advice to others then the term surely fit.

I regret never having golfed with your Dad as I'm sure he could have given me a few pointers. Perhaps there are courses in heaven and someday we'll play a round.

With much love and prayers that your memories of an ordinary man who touched the lives of others in an extraordinary way live on and comfort you.

Ruby and Jeff

The first time I met Norm, I had the opportunity to play golf with him. He was a very interesting person and conversationalist and a pretty good golfer too. I could tell he was the kind of person who was always on the go and made the most of his life and opportunities. For the brief time I spent with Norm, it was easy to see he was a kind hearted, hard-working and dedicated husband and father. Carole and Dan; Beth and I want to express our deepest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. You, Dan and Gabe, your mom, Mary and the rest of your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We know first-hand how Hospice can be so helpful and welcome during the most difficult days so we are honored to are make a donation on Norm’s behalf to New Life Hospice.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. What a comfort he had knowing his family was by his side to care for him and be there as he arose for his next journey. Let the healing begin knowing he is in a better place with many open arms waiting to welcome him in. May the peace of the Lord be with you all...

Dad,

From the very first time I met you until I witnessed your departure from this earth; I always had the utmost respect and love for you. I remember the first time we golfed together, you watched and encouraged me as I plowed along the course, you made me feel welcome and I will always remember that.

Through the years, you continued to provide gentle and meaningful pointers when we played. Everyone that knows me knows I cannot play for beans, but I always enjoyed our time together. It was not about the golf as much as spending time together and always enjoying each other’s company.

You were always good and very kind to me. We enjoyed our talks and the many times we helped each other with odds and ends.

I especially loved the place you had in your heart for my Son Gabe and you enriched both of our lives, in so many ways, forever.

I lost my Dad this August and I was not ready to lose you too. We are all part of God’s plan and we submit to him, holding tightly to our faith. It is this faith that upholds me and helps me through this difficult time.

I will do whatever I can to help and watch over your wife and all your family with whatever time I have left.

You will always be part of me and I will always cherish the time we had together.

Thank you for being a Father to me and allowing me into your family and your heart. Rest in peace and I look forward to meeting you in the glory again.

Love,

Dan
