Known as an honest, tireless worker, always willing to help others, his word was his handshake. Norman worked hard in the name of his family providing us all with rich memories of life on the farm. He enjoyed sowing his crops and harvesting in the Fall. He kept busy all year round baling, hauling grain and hay, and restoring antique tractors. He enjoyed reading history, geography and nature books and was a wealth of knowledge on these topics. Survived by his beloved wife Myrna of Salmon Arm, BC, son David (Kristi) and grandkids Drew, Kiara and Klarissa of Winnipeg, MB, son Neil of Dawson Creek, BC and son Gordon (Janice) and grandkids Katie and Ashley of Salmon Arm, BC.
