Condolences & Memories (9 entries)

  • I'm at a loss for words. Norm was and will always remain the best and longest serving boss I ever had. I also was part of his extended Ford family, having worked with him and Gary and John for 20 years, and was just stunned to hear of Norm's passing, and I am very disappointed that I heard of this too late to attend the celebration of life. My deepest condolences to Dianne and the rest of the family. He will be missed by all the people whose life he touched. - Posted by: Bill Patterson (Former employee) on: Aug 14, 2012

  • Norm was more than a boss to me, he was a friend. I remember lots of laughter and good times with him. I am so glad that I phoned him the last time I was in Wpg.
