Dear Jeff & Pina
We are so sorry for your loss. It was always a pleasure chatting with Norm & Kay at the pharmacy. They were such a loveable couple. Sorry we were unable to attend Norm’s service. We thought the world of him ! ❤️

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Norm at the Town if Caledon and his humour and pranks made our days rewarding. May he rest in peace as he will be missed.

Dear Jeff and family:
We were so saddened to learn of Norms passing. He was without the most liked person at the Town of Caledon for the twenty year period I worked there.
I know you went through some very difficult times as a family and supported each other through good and difficult times.
His sense of humour and epic practical jokes played on anyone and everyone at Town hall are legendary.
It was also great to work with him, yourself and Ken when he ran the Power Sakting School in Orangeville.

oh, Jeff..I am so sorry to hear of Normies passing. When I worked for years at the Town of Caledon, every day I loved to share a giggle and funny joke with him…just to hear that belly laugh of his! he was so kind, and so was your Mom, Kay. Two of the finest people ever and I treasure their memory. Deepest sympathy from Thunder Bay, with love. Dawn Moffatt-Ironside. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Our condolences to Jeff and Family
I have had the pleasure of knowing Norm and Kay from when I worked with Caledon Hydro and he worked with the Town of Caledon. After many years in between, Norm and Kay became our neighbors on Second St in Beeton. Both Norm and Kay were wonderful people. Norm always had time for a chat, enjoyed his time skating during the winter and working with wood. Always the gentleman. We are fortunate to have met such genuine people.

My condolences to Jeff and the family. Norm used to walk up to the post office and stand and chat with me…or maybe it was because I held him up to pet Dolly Parton and Wynona Judd ❤️ so many wonderful stories were shared. He was such a lovely man.
