As I was thinking about Knight fans we've lost, I began wondering about
@MacNorm. The last correspondence I had with him was in March 2021, shortly after Gus Malzahn was hired. He was excited about getting out to UCF games again, he had just purchased Tower Club tickets for the upcoming season. He enjoyed going to all the sports, including basketball and baseball.
I was just thinking I haven't seen him for a while. We'd always chat in person when we'd run into one another.
I Googled his name and just realized he passed in April 2021, a few weeks after his last communication with me. I feel bad that I didn't recognize this sooner.
Charge On in Heaven, Norman Lauterette. Thank you for being a friend.
Here's Norm at the meet-up we had prior to the 2007 NC State game in Raleigh:
