I fondly remember gatherings at Norm and Helen's home in Toronto overlooking the park and swimming pool. He was a gracious host and seemed to love social gatherings. Rest in peace, Norm. You will be missed by family and friends.
I’ve never reached out to people like this, who I don’t personally know... However, my husband and I were extremely moved by the beautifully written obituary for your father in the Globe and Mail. Your loving and genuine description of him painted such a clear picture of a smart and deeply caring man who went after what he wanted, needed and knew was good to live a fulfilled life. Your words captured the essence of how one should truly be remembered. No doubt he would be humbly proud of your heartfelt tribute. Our sincere sympathy to you and all who knew him.
I read the Globe and Mail every morning. I read Normans article. I really enjoyed catching a glimpse into Normans unparalleled independence! I wish I could have visited him in person. It would have been unforgettable to ask about his adventures riding the rails out to BC during the depression. I am positive Norman was a very unique and special person!
