Norm was a great guy. When I was a kid I lived in his neighborhood in Neepawa, and hung out with his oldest son Phil. He was always rigging up weight lifting gear and tinkering in his basement with electrical projects. He even allowed us to target practice with our pellet guns down there under his supervision. It was sad to learn he had passed away. - Posted by: Dean D. (family friend) on: Jan 27, 2022

I worked with Norm at MTS many years ago and although we never met, we certainly had some great phone calls and a lot of laughs. I am very sad to know he is long gone. - Posted by: Gaynor Henry (Co-worker and friend ) on: Oct 08, 2020
