Whether it was golf, curling, Melrose cc or fishing (never caught a fish) it wasn’t long before you heard someone yell “ Norm”. His warm humors personality made you want to be around him, because he made life feel just that much better. While we are saddened by his departure, l guarantee his friends are walking around with smiles on our faces remembering all the great memories, thankful that we we’re able to share a small part of his life. Our thoughts are with Trevor, Bob, Raymond and the rest of his family. Sincerely Neil and Gloria. - Posted by: NEIL PAYNE (Friend) on: Jan 24, 2026
