This is a personal recording from My father's Celebration of Life. This is intended for family and friends of his and the Reader family who weren't able to make the service.
My father Norman Reader Passed on July 12th, 2018 after falling 16ft from a roof on a construction job. The fall day was May 15th and he spent the following 2 months in ICU battling multi-system internal trauma. He was a warrior beyond our understanding; he suffers no more.
This is a full recording of his celebration of life. It is a tribute to the many phases of life Norman had and is delivered by close family and co-workers.
