He lived his whole life on the family farm where he raised his six children. He spent his working career employed by the Ministry of Transportation with the Roads Department. Norm loved to share stories of the many changes to the Highways and Vehicle traffic. He was happy to retire at the age of Fifty Five, to travel and explore Canada with his loving wife of 64 years, “Marjorie”. Norm was a physical worker all his life, never one to read books or watch T.V. He enjoyed cutting grass, cutting wood, planting and tending to his large garden, enjoying nature and ice fishing. We will all miss him. The family will receive friends at the Doolittle Chapel of Carson Funeral Homes, 54 Coldwater St. E. Orillia on Wednesday from 2-4 & 7-9 P.M.
