Norman was a wonderful man that was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. I enjoyed our conversations about old days of trucking and sharing stories. Norman and I worked together for many years. I will miss you my friend, Mark Lafitte

To all the Pike family,
I am so sorry to hear of Norman passing away last week.
Norman and Rhonda and Cecil were like family to me.
I lived several years with them and we had some wonderful times together. Norman and Rhonda let me go on a trip with them in ” OLD RAG “.
First time in my life I had ever gone that far in a big rig.
A moment in my life I will never forget, Got to meet most of the Pike family.
We had a great time while we were up north.
Norman and Rhonda let me go with them to a couple of truck shows and put ” Old Rag ” in the show.
My job was polish
I Love you all all the chrome and wax and polish the cab.
I had a great time with them.
I will never ever for get Norman and Rhonda, they all ways treated me like Family.
