One of the last things I ever wanted to see here but life has that way all its own.
Just want to say, maybe more to others instead of Norm:
Mopar Norm is probably the finest man I've ever known and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best of the best! I have never in my life had a more valued friendship or known a better man, ever, and do not expect to during the remainder. You guys just wouldn't believe how much he has cared about YOU and YOUR TRUCKS and about the whole Sweptline marque and good old Dodge trucks.
He has fought countless battles for you that you never knew about, waging war against those who would deny your RIGHTS of enjoyment and against those who would trample on your simple pleasures. From California to Washington and even in other countries, Mopar Norm has been there to fight the fight, and has scored countless major victories!
The shame is for those who didn't appreciate it or who only had their own selfish interests at heart. Sad truth is they earned for themselves exactly what they deserved, which is the sum total of their own empty self and the odor thereof. Norm on the other hand will be blessed in unimaginable ways they cannot comprehend as unselfish loving kindness receives it due rewards.
Even towards the end of the 'traditional' Chrysler Coporation 'Mopar Norm' was advising their Board of Directors, trying to help them pull their heads out of their butts and get the company back on track in the right direction again to save it from destruction. He showed them the right way but unfortunately 'Corporate Think' ruled the day, as incompetent people in overwhelming positions failed miserably at a task that was just to big for them, thinking they were oh, so very clever. What a pity they wouldn't listen to the one who actually knew how to handle it and how to put it back together the way it should have been.
This is one very sad day for me and it will not pass. There will always be a huge empty spot in my heart for a time that has now gone by. I thank the Lord for those good things in my life and this little corner of the internet was surely one of the best of them, because Mopar Norm made it so. One of the greatest pleasures of my entire life has been to count this man Mopar Norm as a true friend, a priceless treasure it is.
I'm glad to have known others here as well, who have also added their 'certain something' to my life. It's so strange because this has always been my Homepage, the central hub and always a solid starting point for everything else with each day.
From the bottom of my heart, a huge thanks to you, Norm, for all that you've done, for me and for countless others. It never went unnoticed and it will never ever be forgotten. Good things only come from good things and a good seed planted in time bears much good fruit.
I pray for the richest of blessings to you and yours in every way possible for all of your days and that those things you do see will only bring joys to the eyes of your mind and heart and spirit and nourish your soul in plenty. Your good deeds are counted up and in that day you will receive the richest of Reward for that which you have so very well done.
A fine man, a goodly place and always a most precious memory, thank you again and again. My world just never will be the same now and my tears are a witness...
