Lyman and Margaret's son Fred was my best friend growing up. Lyman and Margaret were always gracious hosts and wonderful people. It was only recently that I discovered that Lyman and my Mom's side of our family were distantly related through our shared Norwood ancestry. Sincere condolences to my friend Wayne and the entire Vignes extended family on the loss of an extraordinary human being.
