From a freckled, curly red-haired youngster, a student at Queen Elizabeth Gr. 1 – 12, to a student at MRU, to a graduate of U of C in geology, to an employee of HBOGand Dome, Norm was starting to travel and see the world. Then a car accident at 24 left him a quadriplegic. Amazingly, he had his own apartment for 21years. He had us all building contraptions and modifying everything – should have bought stock in Velcro & duct tape. Only 7 years ago, he evolved from a computer illiterate to a self-taught genius. He ran his T.V., radio, fan and lights using voice recognition. He could converse with anyone. Everyone learned something from him. A tumor finally defeated him and we lost a brother, uncle and friend. Norman was pre-deceased by his mother Lillian and father Weir. He is survived by his sister Loretta (John) Ireland, niece Jill; and brother David (Glenda), nieces Katie, Keltie (Jesse) Beattie, and Connie. At Norm’s request, no funeral services will be held.
