Although our paths crossed before at OC my first significant memories of Norbert are when he would bring Patti coffee in the morning. He will be missed by many. RIP Norbert.
My heart felt condolences… I know there are many special memories to hold close.

Dear Patti and Family. I’m so sorry about Norbert’s passing. My deepest condolences for your loss. Please know that my thoughts are with you.
Dear Heinzelmann Family,
We are so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of our good friend Norbert. Our adventures and great memories through Kelowna Minor Hockey have had a lasting impact on our family. Norbert was our team manager for many years and the players & parents appreciated his tireless efforts and hard work. We became very good friends over the years and although our paths did not cross as often as we would have liked, we always enjoyed chatting with him from time to time at the Rockets Games.
Norbert, you left us far to early and will be missed!
Glen & Leslie Krahn
So sad for your loss, Patti. Hugs!
