I remember having a very involved conversation about beans and tomatoes with him and Marilyn at last year's party. I learned allot from listening to him talk about tomatoes. If I remember correctly I gave him some of the Waterloo County Mennonite Pole Beans (aka Mennonite Purple Stripes...aka...). I'll think of him as a lost mentor...however briefly I got to absorb what he had to say.
My prayers and best wishes go out to Marilyn and the rest of the family, as well as you, too, Remy, and your family. You knew him better than the rest of us at your party. I only wish we'd all gotten a chance to know him better.
Rest in Peace, Norm. And may your heavenly garden be always in season and abundant.
