Maryanne, Barbara and Don, I remember you and Norman very well. You were our neighbors when we all lived on Riverton Ave. over 50 years ago. We lived across the street from your family. You were good friends to our parents Irene and Charlie Krause, both gone now. I very much remember Barbara; she was a little sweetheart. I used to be her babysitter. Those were good days. Norman still wears the same smile I remembered from back then. Unfortunately time marches on. Rest in peace Norman; I am sure you will be missed.

We are mourning the loss of our dear Uncle Norman today. Growing up in Vancouver we were lucky to have him visit and make us all laugh. He was so loved by all of us in the Boaler family. I remember our dad, Peter, joking with his brother about the green winters of Vancouver, while Winnipeg was covered with snow. The two of them are together again and no doubt tending their gardens in paradise. We will miss you until we meet again. - Posted by: Teresa Berka (Boaler) (Niece) on: Jul 11, 2016

Norm was a wonderfully fun loving man. Used to car pool with Norm as well as some other ladies "his girls that he looked after". Kind, loving, caring. Rest in peace Norm, will always remember you. - Posted by: Marlene and Dave Kerr (co-worker at Mts for many years) on: Jul 11, 2016
