Norm was born on a farm in Layland, Manitoba. Norm developed his extremely strong work ethic while growing up on the farm. At the same time he developed his love for the outdoors, especially hunting and trapping. Norm left home at 15 years old to work in construction. He joined the army a couple years later and served with the Royal Horse Artillery during the Korean War. After the war he served with the Princess Patricia’s Light Infantry.

After leaving the army, Norm held various jobs to make a living. He finally landed on a career in the heating and air conditioning trade. He also continued to trap to supplement his income.

He met his wife, Lorraine in 1965. They married in 1966.

Norm and Lorraine raised their 5 boys in the Maples at the same time they operated a successful heating and air conditioning company.

Norm passed on his love for the outdoors and work ethic to his children and grandchildren. He was a great teacher and actively participated during their many hunting, trapping, camping, and work adventures.

Norm will be greatly missed by his family and will be in their hearts and souls forever.
