Rita,Irene & Family, On behalf of Board of Directors of the Chimney Safety Institute, Staff and all CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps in America, please accept our condolences on the loss of your Dad, our most senior North American sweep and my friend Norman. I could sit for hours and listen to him tell us stories about Germany and when he first came to Canada. He was always eager to educate old and new sweeps on how Chimney Sweepers save lives. We will all miss him. John Pilger, President - Chimney Safety Institute of America
