I’d known Normy since I was a child. He always had a smile on his face. I remember he loved his toy chainsaw and would play dolls with my sister and me. I hadn’t seen him in many years but when I did see him he remembered my name. My prayers are with his family at this sad time.

Norman was the kindness person, so sweet and gentle. We grew up in Depauville. Norman loved to pet my horses but only on the nose! His family loved him very much as did we all. RIP Norman

Normie and his Mom were chiropractic patients at my office. The love Emma showed toward him was immense. She often spoke of keeping herself healthy so she could care for her son and what a treasure he was to her. Normie always had a smile and perhaps a bit of a flirt too. It was a pleasure to know them.
