He enjoyed teaching others his profession, acted as a mentor to many students, and has been described by colleagues as a legend in family law .

He was the first winner of the Norman Gould Most Valuable Player Award which was named for him and will be presented each year by the Winnipeg Law Softball League. Norman worked and played baseball up until his diagnosis. Well known for his humour and his interest in people, he was hardworking, honest and believed in giving to charity. Spending time with family was very important to him and he was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and brother.
