I'm a bit worried about Norm Blitch. Anyone seen him or heard from him?
Where is Norm

I also have been wondering why we haven't heard from him. Is he traveling?

He lives in Jacksonville - I have his address - we could send a snail mail - return receipt???I also have been wondering why we haven't heard from him.

I have his cell number but haven't gotten him in 4 days. Is anyone else in Jax who could look him up? I called his diving instructor today and got voice mail, so I'll try tonight.

I sent him an email too so he'll probably be bombarded with messages!

He did reply, and everything is ok. Like Ellen said, he's just been a little busy.
On the other hand...where've you been lately Perrone? I haven't seen a post from you in ages! We really do miss you on the board and hope you'll stick around some.

Well, my mom had been sick, and recently passed away. So I've been away from diving and the boards for over a month now. I'm still pretty busy, but trying to regain some normalcy while I help my dad through this very hard time.
I'm going to resume my diving activities as best I can, at least for now. We'll see how everything goes. Thanks for thinking of me.

Perrone, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. Having mine still here I simply can't imagine what that must be like. You're right, your dad does need you now; but you also need to take care of yourself. Please let me know if there is anything I can do even if nothing more than share a smile. I'll keep you and your dad in my thoughts when I ask the stars in the sky for strength and blessings.Well, my mom had been sick, and recently passed away.

Been there done that Perrone, it's never easy and if your dad is like mine was he never paid a bill or wrote a check so it was an adventure for sure. My heart felt condolences for you and family. It takes time but you'll find your way back and your dad's been through alot, but he'll bounce back too. Be there often to start then ease back some...........good luck

Perrone,
I lost my Mom when I was 35 years old and I was very lucky to have alot of friends who had lost a parent; the only thing that really heals you is time, so take some time for yourself, help your Dad, and let us know if you need anything

Perrone - So sorry about your mom, my thoughts are with you and your dad. He is extremely fortunate to have you there to comfort and assist him.Well, my mom had been sick, and recently passed away.

I'm very sorry to hear about your Mom, Perrone. This past January, I lost my Dad, and my Mom is still alive, so our situation, although different, is also similar. I'm doing things to help my Mom around the house, much like you're doing with your Dad. My heartfelt condolences.
