Saddened to hear of the passing of this wonderful gentleman. He was a kind soul with a nice sense of humour. He always had a good word to say about everyone. Condolences to all of the family. Norm will be missed by many.

Condolence from David Finch on June 2nd, 2020 5:12 pm

Lois
My condolences to you and your family on the passing of a real gentleman – Norm. I enjoyed his companionship and his support and will really miss him.

Condolence from Mary Sasiela on June 2nd, 2020 5:12 pm

Lois and family – I’m so sorry to learn of Norm’s passing!

A funny story that I hope brings a smile to you … the first time I’d played euchre with him, not knowing his name, he finally asked me why I kept calling him “Not”. I said … “that’s what your score card says”. Well, of course it was his shorthand for No (Norm) T (Taylor). “NoT”. And then came the smirk.

I’ve never forgotten – still makes me smile. Even though I hadn’t seen him for awhile, he was always held fondly in my thoughts.

Deepest condolences to you all.

Condolence from Edna Wright on June 2nd, 2020 5:15 pm

Any time we would meet, Norm would ask’ How is the farming going’? when we met up at playing cards.
Sending our Sincere Sympathy to Lois, and all the Taylor Family’s; just remember all the good times
together, and I’m sure there were many. Roy & Edna Wright.

Uncle Norm was a remarkable, one-of-a-kind gentleman and he will be greatly missed. I hope the treasure trove of memories you share, will help to heal the sadness you are feeling. I know for me, Uncle Norm and “the Farm” are synonymous….I have such fond memories of Taylor/Reynar luncheons out on the front lawn, under the big old tree and those wagon rides…young or old, we all loved them! Much love and hugs! R.I.P. Uncle Norm.

Condolence from Carol McLeod on June 11th, 2020 5:44 pm

Dear Lois, Donna, Barb and Nancy, Matt, Taylor, Jessica, Chris, Addison, Flynn, Sawyer, Callan and the rest of your amazing family,

My deepest condolences on the loss of your husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Norm. It has been so difficult to express the sorrow I feel at your loss. Mr. Taylor was such an important person in my life, as I am pretty sure I spent more time at the farm than at my house growing up! Those are some of the best memories of my life, and Norm (and Lois) is a big part of all of them. The last few years Norm has fought a heroic battle, and I thought (and prayed) he may go on forever. He had a lot to live for and he certainly fought to get those extra days in!

I wish we could be with you all tomorrow, but I can’t imagine there’s a church big enough to hold everyone who would like to come to say goodbye! At least know we are standing with you at home.

All my love,
Carol McLeod & family

Condolence from Howard and Valerie Jones on June 11th, 2020 11:12 pm

We will remember Norm as a quiet, polite gentleman. His friendly manner and the twinkle in his eye spoke of his kind and generous attitude to those around him. He will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Lois and her family.

I’m sorry to hear of your family’s loss. I’ve got some fond memories of days spent working at Albion Hills and have been sharing stories of working there with a number of the guys I’m still in touch with that also worked with Norm. Lois, it was great to bump into you and Norm over the past couple of summers while you were out for walks along the Fifth Line and have a chance to catch up with you. Thanks for the smiles.

Dear Lois, Donna, Barbara, & Nancy:

I recently discovered the news of Norm’s passing.

Be assured you all will be in my thoughts & prayers this year. I’ll always remember his friendliness , beautiful smile

& fun of his joking around when I’d come over to babysit the girls. Much love to you all & your families.

Condolence from Tamra Mann on August 15th, 2020 11:07 pm

Back in the 70s, I had a summer job at Albion Hills, working in the snack bar, near the ‘lake’. Norm was always kind to us kids; he’d give us a call from the booth at the entrance whenever our boss was on the way in just so we could make it look like we were working hard when he got there! You know how when you’re young, you don’t see yourself as anything other than a kid but then you meet some grown-ups who treat you like you’re a grown up, too? Well, that was Norm. All these years, I have never forgotten his friendly smile as he waved us into the park. Condolences to the family. He was a nice man and will be remembered.
Sincerely
Tamra Mann

Condolence from Dave on September 5th, 2020 11:55 am

Such sad news. I never knew Norm had passed. I drive by the house the last couple of months and see the property and think that Norm has it looking good again like every other year. So sad! A lot of fond memories working with Norm at the conservation. My sympathies to the Taylor family.
Dave
