A man named Roosevelt Norris passed away in Chicago Monday evening. He was 105 years old.

He was a diehard Cubs fan, but never attended a game at Wrigley Field until last year.

But you say, a man that age would still have memories of the Cubs NL pennants and maybe even a vague memory of the 1908 World Series.

Sadly, Mr. Norris was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. And then he moved to Yazoo City, Mississippi.

He moved to Chicago in ...

1946

Mr. Norris is survived by a total of 74 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

I hope I get back to Wrigley to see a game before I am 104.

Stan from Tacoma

p.s The last time I was at Wrigley was in 1965.
