In memorium Big Norm

Edward Tinker · 11-06-2017, 12:19 PM

I just heard that my friend Big Norm (Norm Tople) passed away last month, he was 77.

He was last on the forum in 2014 and I chatted with him briefly probably last fall?

He collected Navy lugers and artillery if I remember right, nice guy, I'll miss him.

Thanks for letting us know Ed. Will miss him and his humor!

Norm was a neat guy and 77 is too early for good folks like him to pass on. I notice that he was in hospice care...I hope his last days were peaceful. He will be missed.

Ed,

I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. Anyone who likes Lugers and weiner dogs can't be all bad!
