Beautiful words about Norman. My memory goes waaaay back to Bassett Street in Canoga Park, my second home! First were the numerous meals there, always delicious. And the bread... I also recall Norman sneaking jelly donuts outside to give their huge lab Ari a treat, and Toby scolding him each time! I've never spent any time with him when the question about "where should we eat?" wouldn't come up. It always came up! Norman had the quickest wit, always made us laugh, and that rubbed off on his son, my dearest friend, Marshall. Always joking and laughing, Norman made Toby and the rest of the Klapman clan laugh with him. One of the kindest men I've known. I'm certain he's with Toby & Marshall right now, having a nosh. Sending love to you all.
