I always enjoyed meeting with Norman over the years; he always had a smile and an upbeat mood and was very easy to talk to! My condolences to the family; it was a privilege to know Norman.
He was the best father a child could ever ask for always there to help
Sending my deepest condolences to your entire family. I met your Mom when we worked at C.R. Wills together. We kept in touch, mostly by Christmas cards, and updated each other about our families. I did attend a party at their house a few years back which was lovely to be able see them both and chat. Thinking of all of you at this sad time. Vicky O'Brien Lucan
Norm and June were our first landlords when we were first married. We loved that little upper unit on Langarth. Norm was always resourceful and very attentive to anything that needed attention. (Anyone else remember his wall of handy hardware in the basement?) He was a kind man and it was a pleasure to know him. Our condolences to the family during this time of loss.

We were very sorry to hear of Uncle Norm’s passing. Matt’s mother Jessie always shared fond memories of his kindness and willingness to roll up his sleeves and help. We send our sincere condolences to his family and would like them to know we are thinking of them during this difficult time. Matt, Liz & Simon Butson
