    I am 77 and my recollection may be a little blurred but I remember playing with Normand in the 2 Adrian Ave courtyard in 1950 or 1951. His house was the first movie theater that I was ever in. His parents were most welcoming and allowed the local children into their house to watch TV.
    Normand, May You Rest In Peace and may Joyce and your family find Peace.

      Thank you so much for your kind words about my father. I think I remember my mom and dad taking us to visit you and your wife Betty when we were little. I’m sorry you didn’t get the chance to see him again.
      I hope all is well. Debra

    So sorry to hear of Normand’s passing. My deepest condolences to Joyce and his family. I too grew up with Normand in 2 Adrian Avenue along with Linda and Kathleen Gray, Mary.Ann O’Neill, Kathleen Finnegan, Andy Colucci, Sean O’Keefe, Kevin Laurie, James Haugh and so many others .I was close friends with his uncle, Bro. Norbert Justin FSB, who came every summer from Lawrence, MA and took us swimming each morning at the Miramar after he came from Mass at St. John’s. The Rodriques lived in the C Section and they would warmly welcome you in for every occasion. To this day, I can remember so well Mary Rodrique’s and Anna Gray’s laughter! “You could hear the angel’s sing!”

    God Speed Normand! So many will be greeting you at the gates of heaven.
