I just read this in the tribune's article about his wake/funeral:

(Johnny) Kerr's sister, Joan, attended Sunday's wake for Van Lier and disputed the notion that Kerr did not invite Van Lier to be part of his special ceremony Feb. 10 at the United Center. "Red loved Norm," she said of the mix-up. "He was on Johnny's list."

That's disturbing. The Bulls probably won't offer any explanation either. There's absolutely no reason Norm shouldn't have been front and center at the ceremony.


It's all Jerry Krause's fault I tell you.

Yeah, I thought Red killed him and then died.

I guess I should have been more clear: has suicide been ruled out?




My connects are telling me, Tuesday night, Norm was out enjoying a slice
of Pizza and a couple beers, his speech was very slurred, and he wasn't
making much sense in what he was talking about. He likely was suffereing
a stroke, for the beer or two he had had not made him that drunk. If only
the people there who witnessed this had half a brain, they could have
gotten him help, and called paramedics.
