Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryNORMAN NICK DIDICK March 13, 1943 - June 26, 2014 It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the passing of Norman Didick on June 26, 2014 at the age of 71. Norman is predeceased by his sister Carole, mother Mary, father Nick, and many aunts, uncles and cousins. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father and grandfather by his wife of 51 years, Audrey, daughters Bonnie Didick-Collignon (Brad) and Tracey Sault (Richard), and grandchildren Andrew, Mark and Kirsten. He is also survived by mother-in-law Mary, brothers-in-law Bill and Orest (Gloria), as well as many nieces and nephews. Born in Selkirk, MB he spent his early years in West Kildonan. As a young man he met and married Audrey and they moved to Transcona to start their life together. In his healthy years he was employed with M.C.I. and enjoyed fishing, building, camping and a beer with the neighbours. He was always there to lend a hand to anyone in need. Norm's priority was always his family. He was determined that his children would have a better life and advantages than himself. His efforts were rewarded as he saw his children educated, marry and have children of their own. He saw with great pride that he had surpassed his own goal and knew he had done well. Norm had many health issues over the years. Despite that he maintained his sense of humour, was positive and appreciative. His grandchildren learned how to become compassionate, caring and supportive people. His goodness will live on through them. A graveside service will take place on Wednesday, July 2, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. at Transcona Cemetery, 5014 Dugald Rd. with a luncheon to follow at Norm and Audrey's home. All are welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Norman's name to the Manitoba Brain Injury Association, Winnipeg. "We will love you forever, we will miss you always."

Mr. Didick was a huge part of my childhood. The entire family was very important to my family. I spent countless days and evenings in his home with his daughter Tracy. He was always a good man, and to this day I can see his smile and hear his voice as if he spoke to me today. It is with a heavy heart I heard of Mr. Didick's passing, I regret not knowing as I would have been there to celebrate his life. My deepest sympathies to the entire family as all of you were part of my Boxing Day celebrations for many years and were like family during my childhood. - Posted by: Sharon Vickner (neighbor) on: Nov 19, 2014
