Shirley:
I am sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts as you go through this difficult time.
My condolences to the family. I known Norm since I was a kid as he used to do work for my God Parents George and Bertha Flintoft and he knew my father Stan Freier. My father and God Parents always spoke highly of Norm and he was a great guy.Stan , George and Norm will be sitting around talking about the cows and all the situations there were surrounding the 4 legged beasts as each one was George’s babys and he hated to slaughter any of them. Lloyd a great big hug from me to you with thoughts and prayers and love. Sandi Freier-Giddings

Our heartfelt sympathy to all
Pennie Powell and families.
I have a lot of good memories of Norm. He was a big help to me with my little hobby farm. I remember on one occassion I was asking him how I might dehorn a particular cow and he insisted on coming over to do it for me – he wanted to make sure I did not mess it up but mostly he was the kind of man who always wanted to help. On another occassion he was helping me pen calves for transport and had to squeeze through a narrow gate – the operative word being squeeze. As he pushed his portly body through the gate he was mumbling unflattering remarks about me – it was funny. My warmest regards to his family.
My thoughts are with you at this time. May you have many memories to treasure.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Norm was a great person and he will be missed.
The family of Ray Nicholls Sr, wish to send our condolences on the loss of your husband, father and grandfather.

To Shirley and your family
We were neighbours with Norm when our children were growing up on Sallows Rd.
Norm taught our city children
what a cowboy was. They loved growing up with such an incredible neighbour.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
