NORMAN JARMUSKE

Condolences & Memories (45 entries)

• I remember Norm from back in Shilo, mid to late 70s. He was my shops teacher. He was actually one of the younger teachers at the time. So long ago I can't recall much other than the building that we worked in used to have asbestos falling from the ceiling... and the 100 long division math questions he gave to me and my friend. Not sure why since we were saints! Thanks to Norm, I still have all my fingers! Sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Ron (former student) on: Feb 02, 2021

• I would have been in one of the first classes Mr. Jarmuske taught in Shilo. He was very young and our shop teacher. I remember him mentioning his wife and new born child back then. As classes of boys, we gave him a lot of attitude and grief. For a few months he struggled to get us on task and paying attention. His persistence paid off. I learned a lot from him that year about safety, the tools and how to use them. Rest in peace, Sir! - Posted by: John G. White (Student) on: Feb 01, 2019

• Norm was a cherished friend and colleague for many years, to so many of us. I knew him for 25 years and he NEVER CHANGED. Always one to celebrate the good things in life, alongside of us, but also to be there for support, advice, or simply an open ear. He loved his family so dearly that all of us felt we knew them as friends, whether through stories or continually-updated, beautiful family photos. This kind and loving man will certainly be missed by many. I know I speak for so many of his colleagues, Donna and kids, when I send our heartfelt condolences and love to your wonderful family. - Posted by: Donna Kurnell (Colleague and friend) on: Feb 23, 2017
