    Nancy,
    Loved knowing Norman as parent, friend, and co-worker. Enjoyed his vast knowledge, wit, and humor. This weekend, I was sorting through my business cards and i found his. It brought a smile to my face. I know he will be greatly missed by you and Patty.

    Prayers and sympathy for the family. I got to know Mr. Carlisle when I had Patty as a student at MacArthur Jr. High and he was at South Park HS. May he rest peacefully in heaven.

    Nancy, both of my kids had Norman for their teacher. They really liked him. He was not only a great teacher but made the classroom fun!
