    Dear Angie, Paul, Robin, family and friends.

    I am one of many who worked with Norm on Air Canada’s YYZ Ramp. I say without hesitation that ‘Scrapyard’ was the rarest of Gentlemen who could mix humour and work ethic perfectly. Norm remains a Legend. Norm joins John Brodeur in the Ramp Staff Hall of Fame. I would like to extend my most sincere condolences. I am certain your home will remain full of fine memories.
