    Aunt Dolly, Debbie, Carol, Frank and all of your families we give our deepest condolences for the loss of such a precious man. He was an easy man to love and one we shall always remember with such fondness. We shared a lot of special memories with Uncle Norm from camping/boating/fishing when we were kids to cards and watching hockey games (Go Habs Go!!) as we got older. It was always a happy day to have him wrap his arms around you and give you a bear hug. Uncle Norm and Aunt Dolly always made you feel welcome with every visit and they made sure you would never leave without something whether some fish, bottle of mussels, baked goods or some wisdom of life or knowledge of the woods or ocean. We love you Uncle Norm and we will miss you so dearly.
    Love, Cathy, John, Petros and Niko xoxo

    To Debbie, your Mom, brother, sister and all the grand and great grandchildren.
    We have only met your parents maybe twice over the years, but they left us with a warm welcoming feeling.
    We have though, gotten to know your Dad, Deb, through your stories over the years.
    I am sure you all will feel the void in the months ahead. I pray that your many wonderful memories and all the support from family and friends and the stories they will share help to bring you some comfort.
    You continue to be in our thoughts at this time.

    Dear Dolly and family,

    I just heard about Norms passing through Sherry today. I was saddened to hear that news. It was so good to see you both a few summers ago as it had been a number of years. I have very fond memories of coming to visit my Grandpa and Nan and seeing you all as Mom and Dad always enjoyed their visits with everyone in the garden. My condolences to you all. Take good care. Our prayers are with you. Diane and Steve
