The service for Norman Wyles was held yesterday and was well attended. Other WWII vets were in attendance and local dignitaries, the press, police, fire department, and members of the public also paid respects. A flyover was done by aircraft from the Fire Department in Norman's honor.

RIP, Norman, and thank you for your service...
