Oh dear Norm,
I am very sad this day to hear you are gone! To your family: I know he was a wonderful kind and caring man. He loved his boys so much and was so proud of them. He was a cherished and fond member of St Andrew’s Presbyterian in Fergus as to how we met! He was a dear friend to me and I will still forever look over my left shoulder to him tipping his hat to me with his medium coffee from Timmies in hand. You are forever in heaven now next to the man you loved the most, Jesus!

My husband worked with Norm, so I first met him at the work Christmas party. He was up dancing alone on the dance floor with his teen age son. This sight melted my heart ! He was such a kind soul. He will be missed by all.

Can you believe we used to call Norm “Fluffy” because of all of his hair ?
I had the honour of knowing Norm for over 45 years. He was one of the greatest practical jokers of all time.
Trips to the beach or a hockey, basketball or lacrosse game. There was never a dull moment and always a smile.
Later in life we would meet at Cubs events with our boys. He was a very proud father.
Good-bye my friend. You’ll be missed.and fondly remembered.
With sincere sympathy to the family,
Bruce Gibson
