Norm was a retired member of Local UA67 Pipefitters and Plumbers, a trade he was very proud of. One year while at Simcoe fair, Mary purchased a T-Shirt that read “Of course, I don’t look busy, I did it right the first time”. When Norm wore the T-Shirt to work the next day, Mary had to make another trip to Simcoe Fair to buy 8 more T-Shirts.
Norm treasured time spent with his children and grandchildren, enjoying music by Gordon Lightfoot, cross word puzzles and Si-Fi. Norm became a reluctant fan of Mary’s Nascar races cheering on his favorite driver #22 Joey Logano. Every Friday night, Norm regained full control of the T.V. remote, when Mary and her sister Margie attended dirt track races at Ohsweken Speedway.
Heartfelt thanks to Dr. A. L. Gunning, family physician for many years, Dr. S. Hotte, prostate oncologist and staff at Juravinski C-3 Oncology ward during Norm’s 4 day stay.
As per Norm’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Memorial church service will be held Thursday, October 17, 2024 at St Paul’s Anglican Church, 27 Orkney Street East, Caledonia, Ontario N3W1K9, at 11:00 am with Reverend Jann Brooks officiating, assisted by Reverend Deacon Nancy McBride. Interment of ashes in Caledonia following service, followed by a reception in St. Paul’s Parish Hall.
I lieu of flowers, donations to St Paul’s Anglican Church would be appreciated.
May our memories of Norm be a blessing to us all. Always, forever my love -Norm- the price of great love is great sorrow.
