Condolences & Memories (17 entries)

  • Dear Val and Family, My deepest sympathy during this difficult time. Norm was a gracious and proud man - he was a kind companion to my late husband, Laurie, when they shared a room at Deer Lodge. May you all find comfort in knowing many people are thinking of you. Sincerely, Deb - Posted by: Deb May (Friend) on: Nov 14, 2014

  • My condolences to Val and family and am sorry I was unable to be at Norm's service. I have fond memories of working with Norm at Budget/Avis for about 9 years. He would often talk about his daughters and what was going on with them, and going to the cottage with val.......and hockey and golf, which we discussed every day. Norm had a great sense of humour and we shared many laughs together. He was a good man. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time. - Posted by: rich mcmillan (friend and former co-worker) on: Nov 10, 2014
