It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our cherished and beloved husband, dad, stepdad, son, papa, brother, brother-in-law and uncle Norm on January 11, 2022 at the Pine Falls Hospital.

Norm was the youngest child born to his beloved parents Marcella and Doc (Orville).

Norm also leaves many beloved nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. He also leaves his brothers and sisters-in-law and their families (Wark).

Born in Winnipeg and raised in Stony Point, those were his roots and he was very proud of it. Named after his Papa Norm who was a cherished man. Norm was a proud Red River Metis citizen and chairperson for the Pine Falls local.

Norm was a gifted self taught musician, he played guitar, bass and drums. He grew up in a musical family, played in the Vezina Family Band, played in his parents band, The Why Knotts, with his sister Holly Vee. He played in many small bands over the years, but also sang with his beautiful voice with ease at many nursing homes, funerals, weddings, parties and many a road trip.

Norm would do anything for his community (Pine Falls). He loved his town and all the people in it. His 4P Baseball tournaments, Ol King Hockey, Pine Falls Paper Mill and his many friends. For Years Norm was the time keeper at the rink and proudly sang ‘O’ Canada for every hockey tournament.
