Norman was born in Brandon, Manitoba on July 19, 1945. In 1958 he made a commitment to serve God, a commitment he kept until the very end and it was central to his life.

Norman spent the last 30 years working for Star Package Sales in Winnipeg. Left to mourn his passing are his wife of 47 years, Betty, sons Jason (Van) of Edmonton, Alberta, and Greg (Sandee) of Vancouver, British Columbia, and grandchildren Irelyn, Jayden, Jaylee, Carter and Zara. Norman is also mourned by his sisters May (Tom) Knight, and Evelyn Mannall, and many nieces, nephews, friends and family. His brother-in-law John Mannall, and parents Harry and Rose Shorland predeceased him. The family would like to say thank you for the excellent care Norman received in the Palliative Care unit of the St. Boniface Hospital and by Doctor Vi Dao. The family would like to thank all those who visited Norman and stayed with him in the last days. A special thank you to Don Borys for his friendship and kindness to Norman throughout his illness and sitting with him through his chemotherapy treatments and doctor appointments. The family would like to also thank Jim from Star for his kindness to Norman in his last months of his life.

I'm honored to call Norman a friend and colleague. I have known Norm for over 20 years, first as a customer then as a fellow employee. Norm was a professional in the way he handled his business and his approach to people. Norm taught us all a lot about perseverance and a positive attitude in business and in life. He was a mentor and friend to all of us at Star, and we will miss him very much. We send our heartfelt condolences to Betty, Jason, Greg and families from all of us at Star. - Posted by: Jim Phillips (worked with Norman at Star ) on: Jan 07, 2015

I first worked for Norm about 30 years ago. My family was just starting to grow and he hired me on a casual basis. The extra money helped a lot. Norm and I stayed in touch throughout the years until about 10 years ago, he approached me to work for him at Star. I accepted his offer a couple of years later and have never looked back at that decision. Norm was a great mentor to me and I will miss him a lot. Rest in peace my friend. - Posted by: Andy Nytepchuk (Friend and colleague) on: Jan 07, 2015
