Norman will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him. He was an amazing person; always friendly, happy, and full of life. He did so many things to help other people; he even brought my Mother meals on wheels, and he never left without talking to her for awhile. It was always a pleasure for Sandy and I to go visit him. Everybody liked Norman! Our deepest condolences to Barry, Tannis, and all of their families.

Condolences to Norm’s family and friends. I first met Norm as a 15yo kid hangin out and playing pinball at Bert’s Billiards. Still too young to play pool, I sat and watch the regulars for hours on table 1 until I turned 16 and could actually play. I was lucky to have my favorite house cue added to the racks with my name on it. So many memories in the basement of the Central Block… RIP Norm
