Our condolences to the family. You and Louise were always there for my dad… till the very end. Miss your smile and positivity. Leroy will be waiting for you at the Jazzy Gates of heaven.
Mon ami et mentor, mon « drumfather », Norman a été un model pour moi tant comme batteur/musicien qu’être humain résiliant. Une des personnes les plus gentil que j’ai eu la chance et le prévilège de connaître de toute ma vie. Repose en pays mon Norman, love you for ever…. Already miss you….
