In addition to marrying me Norm also became a loving and supportive stepdad to my two children, Judy Kemp and John Kemp. He is also the loving and beloved Grampie of Ellie Kemp and Alexander Kemp. As a family we shared great holidays together - Hawaii, Disneyland, summers at Sioux Narrows and all the usual family occasions. Norm is going to be hugely missed. We have so many great memories. During his practice of law Norm achieved many milestones and he was admired and respected by his colleagues. Norm was an active partner at the law firm Tapper Cuddy until 2014, when his illness made it necessary for him to retire.

He is also survived by his brother Ron Cuddy, his wife Lorna and their son Tom. There are so many other close family members, of both Norm and Rose, who will deeply mourn his passing.

Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

  • I wish to offer the family and his friends my deepest sympathies. Norm was a very special person that I met first at the Tapper Cuddy Office in Winnipeg that I will never forget. He gave me confidence on my legal situation, he took charge of it and made me feel totally taken care of. As the end result he won my case and to me he is my very special hero for all that hard work. What he was also unaware of, is what changes he did in my future, by his influence and confidence, my entire future path to a positive direction was influenced by Norm Cuddy and for that I thank him also. I am sad to see such a talented and special person be taken at such a young point of his life. I will always remember him and will always respect his work he has done. I know he was a hero to many but in my heart, he is my significant hero. - Posted by: Darlene Dolinski & Lauraine de Keruzec (A Past Client) on: Jul 08, 2016

  • Dear Rose....I am offering sincere condolences on behalf of my mother Jo Pearson who passed away on June 5,2016 the day before Norm did. She was very found of both you and Norm, and as a teenager and young adult I can vividly recall her attending your great Grey Cup parties. She always had a very big admiration for Norm and I know your family will greatly miss him. I will try and attend the memorial on July 27/16 Maureen Nicholson (nee Marnie Pearson) - Posted by: maureen nicholson (daughter of Jo Pearson - a dear friend from long ago) on: Jun 27, 2016

  • I do believe that I have not seen Norm since 1976 U of M, fraternity days, but I find that I am very saddened to learn of his too soon passing. I would like to express my heart felt condolences to his family and to all his friends, present and past. I recall some very fond memories of Norm in his prime. I knew him to be extremely bright. I learned through friends that he became a very accomplished lawyer. I am sure that Norm will be missed. - Posted by: Paul Hanvey (Fraternity brother, old friend) on: Jun 26, 2016

  • Hello Rose. Deepest sympathies from myself and Marie. Norm and I went to school together and our parents were very very close friends as you know. My mom always kept me up to date on Norm over the years. Back in our high school years Norm was always a smart guy and you knew he would be a success.And he was! Again Rose sorry for your loss.

  • Rose, I was so very sorry to hear about Norm. I'm so glad I had the chance (in an email I sent to him about a year ago) to tell him what he meant to me and the impact he had on me through the years. I enjoyed getting together with him and Randy and Lori every so often. He was such a good kind person. He will be missed. Take care.

  • As another member of the Tau Sigma Rho chapter of the Phi Kappa Pi fraternity, of which Norm was a member, I too mourn the loss of such a great guy at such a young age. - Posted by: Ron Steffan (fraternity brother) on: Jun 15, 2016

  • Norm and I were great friends in university. When he left home in his last year of law school, I too was moving out having completed my engineering degree. We decided we had too much in common not to room together. I moved into his apartment when another of our friends decided it was not working for him. Then the parties started in earnest. We held parties, we went to parties, we travelled in an old delivery truck, come camper, to the US and other places. I do not know how we survived. After a year I got engaged and we needed to end the apartment lease. Norm offered, "I have broken leases for other friends before", we just need to hold a lease breaking party, I know how its done. OK Norm let's do it. We found the loudest stereo we could get and invited all our friends, inviting them to invite their friends too. In all during that night the police showed up 3 times asking us to keep it down. Norm just told them ok, but the last time, Norm slammed the door in their face telling them to not come again or he would have them up on harassment charges. They actually did NOT show up again. Norm knew he was going to be a good lawyer even then. I also believed that too. After all, I watched him study for his final exams. The night before each exam, and ONLY the night before he would speed read his notes or whatever and walk in and ace every one. I had never before seen anyone who could do that, especially in law school. He was an incredible person. I was lucky to know him and so were some of my family who got themselves into sticky situations which Norm got them out of in the courtroom. I sometimes wish I had stayed in Winnipeg so our friendship would have continued. I have thought of him often and to find he lived here on the west coast where I retired to sail my boat seems odd that we had not crossed paths again. I am sorry for that. My deepest condolences to his family that I regret I never met. Cal Oleksuk - Posted by: Cal Oleksuk (Old friend, room mate and fraternaty brother.) on: Jun 12, 2016
