Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Norman Edward Tearoe at the age of 74. Following a short, but incredibly brave battle with brain cancer, Norm died peacefully on Friday, December 10, surrounded by family in Kelowna, BC.
Norm is survived by his wife of 53 years, Tess; his two children Dawn (Greg) and Mike (Cathy); and his grandchildren Emily and Lucas.
Growing up in West Vancouver, Norm spent two years in Physical Education at UBC before joining Van Waters and Rogers Ltd. (Univar Canada Ltd.) in 1968. His career with VW&R spanned 38 years and included positions in Vancouver, Toronto, Winnipeg, and Edmonton. Norm retired in 2007 as the National Operations Manager at the head office in Richmond, BC. Throughout his career and his involvement in community and sports, to the research into the Tearoe family tree, Norm enjoyed building personal connections and his gifts of humour, intelligence, and compassion were shared with many. Though he was taken from us far too soon, we are left with wonderful memories, including his love of music, poetry, slo-pitch, the Blue Jays, the Oilers, golf, and badminton – and of course the guidance he gave to all of us over the years.
Thank you to the doctors and staff of BC Cancer – Kelowna (Sindi Ahluwalia Hawkins Centre) and the Brookhaven Care Centre.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Norm’s memory to the BC Cancer Centre (www.bccancer.bc.ca/our-services/centres-clinics/bc-cancer-kelowna).
Arrangements are in the care of Everden Rust Funeral Services & Crematorium,
West Kelowna Arrangement Centre (250-768-8925).
