Orange County Deputy First Class Norm Lewis loved Chick-fil-A, so much so that he visited the University Boulevard location once or twice a week for years.

The 11-year veteran of the Orange County Sheriff's Office and motorcycle deputy died while helping hunt down a man suspected of killing Master Sgt. Debra Clayton, an officer with the Orlando Police Department.

His death has devastated lots of people, including staff at his favorite Chick-fil-A, where it hit them especially hard.  To honor their friend, they have created a tribute they call the "Missing Man Table." 

"I turned on the TV, and I couldn't believe it.  I just started bawling," said Beth Ivey, a restaurant employee.  "I can't believe I won't see him ever again.  It doesn't seem real."
