Dear Rosie, Rita, Phyllis and Bill,
I am so, so sorry. I just heard about your dad this minute. No one emailed or called me. I know your hearts are broken. Your dad was such a nice nice man. I had such a good time talking with him at Rosie's house a couple of years ago at Rita's retirement party. Please take care of each other. I will talk with you soon. Love to you all, Sharon Cornett Bonadies##imported-begin##Sharon Cornett Bonadies##imported-end##

Top Ten Things Norm Lindauer Loved
By Bob McCulloch, son-in-law
1. Edith – For all of the good-natured “grief” he received from Edith, Norm knew he was a lucky man. Edith was the love of his life and he cherished her until her dying day.
2. Family – his and Edith’s parents/grandparents, his and her siblings and their children, his own children and their spouses, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He particularly loved watching his grandchildren participating at their school activities.
3. Playing and playing well at horseshoes and other sports. He kept a mental record of his current “ringer percentage”. He was amazingly still athletic in his later years, very coordinated – in fact less than a month ago he outperformed Nick, Rita and I at billiards
4. Abraham Lincoln – Dale was Abe’s birthplace and of this Norm was very proud, often chatting up strangers with the story of youthful Abe
5. Hoosier pride – Dale was in his blood and no matter how long he lived in OH, he was forever a Hoosier (and “Brars”, as he jokingly called them, be damned)
6. Solitude – although a very social person, he loved being alone and enjoying his quiet time to have a smoke and enjoy a refreshment, especially after a long day at work or in the garden
7. Reading the daily newspaper, the Cincinnati Reds and all sports (with special emphasis on any Hoosiers who were excelling – like all star 3B Scott Rolen who hailed from Dale)
8. His and Edith’s German heritage – Norm retained much of the German language and often lapsed into German to describe things. Quite often, the night before we were about to return home from a visit, he would say to me, “Morgen fliegen die feigl” – or tomorrow the birds fly
9. Memories of his past – both he and his brother Hubert were amazing in the detailed memories of their past, names and dates still intact after over eighty years had passed!
10. His daily walks – we saw him a month ago and he was still walking for exercise. He had slowed down a bit but learned to sit down and rest a bit in between stretches. He never lost his love of the outdoors.##imported-begin##Bob McCulloch##imported-end##
Don and I are so sorry to hear about your loss. Having lost my father just two years ago, I know how difficult it is and is going to be. Take the time to feel the loss and then hold the memories tight. We're thinking of you and looking forward to seeing you again soon.
