NORMAN E. POUND

Condolences & Memories (22 entries)

• Norm Pound, surely, has been a tower of blessing to many people. There's a section in the Filipino community in the city of Winnipeg who will remember him in his many roles, especially to those struggling and lonely who came in the early '70s. For 10 years, 1973-1983, he (and Eileen) gave us his time and friendship relating to us in various settings at Camp Shanti, Pelican Baptist Camp, the Filipino Christian Fellowship ministry at Broadway-First and some established Filipino churches in the city. Our children still call him Lolo (Filipino for grandpa). We are privileged to have known Norm. Surely he will be missed but will be remembered dearly. To Norm's family, we say, may you be comforted and strengthened to know that your loved one, Norm Pound, lived his life so well to the glory of God and as a blessing to his fellow human beings - Posted by: Noel & Rosina Lapatha (Friend) on: May 31, 2013

• I met Mr. Pound while attending Broadway Baptist Church for a few months in 1990. I was a college student on a short term job in Winnipeg, and was warmly welcomed by Mr. Pound and the entire Pound Family. Although it was 23 years ago, I can still picture his warm and friendly smile and I remember that he helped to make a lonely Maritimer feel at home. My sincere condolences to Mrs. Pound, Katherine, Anne, Peggy and the entire family. God bless. - Posted by: Shawna Peverill (Friend) on: May 31, 2013

• "Uncle Norm" was one of the sweetest and kindest men I have ever known. He never failed to say hello with his lovely smile and a touch of kindness. You were a very special man and will be very sorely missed. Love Cathy and Dan - Posted by: Cathy Marshall (Family Friend ) on: May 30, 2013

• Dear Norm, You and your family were one of the first people to greet us on arrival in Winnipeg, Canada. You were always there for us, helping us to settle into this new country. Your adviCe and help was a blessing - reaching out to us every single day when I was on strike - making sure we were taken care of. You were my mentor..... the brother I never had. Your support and encouragement made it easier for us to get settled and became "Canadians". You were very wise, kind, and gentle - a true Christian gentleman, always ready with a hug, sincere and gracious with your compliments. You will be missed - but we have that assurance we will meet again! Thank you for the wonderful example you were for us. Frank & Beryl Gray - Posted by: Frank & Beryl Gray (Friend) on: May 29, 2013

• There are so many memories of our family outings, dinners and camping with the Pound family. Our thoughts and prayers go to Mrs. Pound, Peggy, Anne and Kathy. Mr. Pound was always kind, generous and forgiving no matter how much trouble us kids got into. - Posted by: Paul Mears (longtime family friend) on: May 26, 2013

• Norm was my Sergeant when I came to 402 Squadron from 3052 Technical Training Unit. He was a mentor to me, friend, and always guiding us young airmen. I went on to being commissioned from ranks ending up as a Senior Staff Officer in Air Command Headquarters. On our last reunion, Norm confided in me that he had sacrificed a ride in a Harvard aircraft so as a young airman I could get a ride instead of him. He laughed and said he still hasn't had a ride in a Harvard. His gentle nature was inspiring. I loved this man almost as a son. I will miss you Norm, but celebrate your life, and hold your memory dear to me. Thank you for being a mentor, friend, confidant, and leader in my life. - Posted by: Ronald W. Salome (Member of 402 Squadron) on: May 26, 2013

• Mr. Pound was a great friend to my dad when they lived on Wilkes and dad enjoyed his company very much. I still have the t-shirt that he gave my dad with the Lancaster on it. Mr. Pound was indeed a kind-hearted gentleman, visiting both of my parents when they were in hospital. After one visit to my mom on a Sunday afternoon, she commented on how he "was all dressed up." Even as late as a few weeks ago my mom told me that Mr. Pound recognized her and chatted with her at Tuxedo Villa where he was briefly staying. What a wonderful and kind person he was! I am sure you and the many other lives he touched will have great memories. I will often think of Mr. Pound when I drive by the Winnipeg Gliding Club which is not far from where I live. My sympathies to you. - Posted by: Brenda Borley (Friend) on: May 26, 2013

• So sorry for the Family's loss, had the locker across from Norm at the Re Fit Centre. A gem of a man, we always had something to talk about. - Posted by: Tom Hamilton (Friend) on: May 25, 2013

• Truly a good and Godly man who is worthy of our love and respect. I will never forget the evidence in Mr. Pound's life as I knew him to be a true follower of Jesus. His life was lived with compassion, kindness, forgiveness, humility, patience and gentleness. Well done good and faithful servant. You will always be remembered sir. Thank you for the example of love you leave in each member of your family and for those of us who always enjoyed your smile when we made it home. With much love to your family, David Mears - Posted by: David Mears (Family friend) on: May 25, 2013

• I met Norm at the WCAM and the people who knew him longer than I have said what I found over the few years I knew him. He always appeared "sharp" in appearance. I enjoyed our conversations which usually, but not always, revolved around airplanes. A life well lived and I share the fond memories of so many. - Posted by: Murray Parker (fellow airplane lover) on: May 25, 2013

• The epitome of a quintessential gentleman best describes my memories of Norm Pound. Always thoughtful and respectful and deserving same. Over 35 years ago we met as members of the Winnipeg Gliding Club. We worked together as the "Awards Committee" where Norm's love of the sport and the people in particular were most evident. On his own initiative, Norm interviewed members and wrote brief biographies that were printed in our Club newsletter. As a result we learned that we were more than just sailplane pilots. Whenever we were parting, Norm always wished hugs to my partner Dixie. Farewell, may your spirit soar forever. - Posted by: Fred Kisil (freind and sailplane instructor) on: May 24, 2013

• Please accept my sincerest condolences on behalf of all our family. We have had a special connection through many years and we share your loss. Wonderful memories of Norm come to mind, many at Camp Shanti, Pelican Lake, and camping, and most especially of the warm, kind, caring, thoughtful gentle-man, always ready to help in any situation. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sincerely, Virginia Hart and Family - Posted by: Virginia M. Hart (long time friend of family) on: May 21, 2013

• I lived 6 doors away from Norman from 2005 to 2011. Always smiling, always busy, always ready to help, he made an impression on me that I will never forget; Norman set standards I wish to be like. - Posted by: Gordon Falkenberg (Neighbor/friend) on: May 20, 2013

• We will remember him as one of the kind, gentle, warm, caring people we have had the good fortune to know. We treasure the times he spent with us from the prayer breakfasts at First Broadway Church to the support he provided during more than one of our Fringe Festival productions. We feel his loss deeply and our thoughts and prayers are with all the family and specially Eileen, Peggy, LLoyd, and the grandchildren. - Posted by: Rex and Rita Deverell (Friends) on: May 20, 2013

• Love and sympathy to Eileen, Peggi and Lloyd, Ann and Alan, Katherine and Phil and all of the grandchildren. I will always remember Norm as "father number two", and will always remember his thoughtfulness, graciousness and love. He was a very large part of my teens and early twenties. He was a very special man. Barbara - Posted by: Barbara and Richard Bergstrom (Friends) on: May 18, 2013
