Norman was proud of his time in ministry called “Sharer’s of the Word”, he dedicated 32 years of service to Windsor Regional Hospital- Western Campus before retirement. He enjoyed watching the grandkids’ hockey, soccer, and all sports. Norman was an avid fisherman and an old western movies aficionado. He was well known for his sense of humour and had a way of making the whole room smile when he entered. We will miss his smiling voice telling us “I love you, be good.” at the end of our phone calls.
