NORMAN RICHARD DALMAN
June 28, 1945 - November 23, 2019
He is survived by Pat, his loving wife of 36 years; his children, Kirsten Josephson (Steven), Tannys Williams (Sergio Garza) and his grandchildren, Willow, Soren and Asra; his sisters, Judy Bradley and Joan Squires (Chris), his brother, Gord Dalman (Eileen), and nieces and nephews.
Norm was predeceased by his parents, Harold and Sheila, and by his brothers, Wayne and Ray, his sister- in- law Rachel and his brother- in- law Garth Bradley.
Born and raised in Gimli, Norm attended Gimli High School and went on to graduate from the University of Manitoba. On May 21, 1983 Norm and Pat were married and Norm became a loving stepfather to Kirsten and Tannys. Norm was an independent spirit who was intrigued by the idea of working in small businesses that were based in Gimli. He worked for Saunders Aircraft and Graph Tech. Later he became fascinated with creative advertising and worked for Chas Fidler and Sons in Selkirk and then worked for 25 years for Brian Shippam and Company in Winnipeg.
Norm was a kind and gentle soul who always seemed to be amused by the world around him. He was an avid curler and golfer and enjoyed hunting - although I suspect he was more bird watcher than hunter. For many years Norm designed T-shirts and souvenirs for the Icelandic Festival Committee and worked tirelessly to promote the festival weekend.
Being a grandfather was a delight for Norm. He adored Willow, Soren and Asra. Spending time with them was the best of times.
The family would like to thank the nurses and staff of the Gimli Betel Home for their care and kindness to Norm during his illness.
Family and friends are invited to join us in a celebration of Norm's life at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, December 2, 2019 at Johnson Hall in the Waterfront Centre. There will be a reception to follow.
If friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Norm's name to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba.

So sorry to hear of Norm's passing. He was always very kind and I will have fond memories of learning to play bridge from him to hiking up to the lighthouse in Mazatlan. Sending Love, Lark. - Posted by: Lark Barker (Friend) on: Dec 04, 2019

I miss curling against Norm and golfing with him. He was always competitive and a very kind soul. Unfortunately I am unable to get to his service. My thoughts are with the family. - Posted by: Philip Bauernhuber (Friend) on: Dec 01, 2019

Dear Pat, Kirsten, Tannys and family, we are very saddened to hear that Norm has passed. He really was such a kind, gentle man we were happy to call a friend. He always had a smile for everyone and was truly interested in hearing what was going on in the lives of his many friends. Sparky, as he was known to many of us, was so very proud of Pat, his daughters and grandchildren. He will be dearly missed. We are sorry we will not be able to attend his celebration of life as we are away. But please know you are all in our thoughts. Sending much love, Deb and Vic Thordarson ❤️ - Posted by: Deb and Vic Thordarson (Friends) on: Nov 30, 2019

Cousin Norm and I would run into each other in Winnipeg from time to time in the late 80's as we both worked in the same area of the city. He always made my day with his good humour and laughter. Condolences to Pat and Families. Rest Well Normy - Posted by: Robbi (cousin) on: Nov 30, 2019

Normie was such a good guy, and always a delight to see him at the Icelandic festival every summer. It was so special to see him and Pat with their granddaughter on the dock a few years ago. Our sympathy to Pat and family. - Posted by: Pat Peacock (Gimli school friend) on: Nov 30, 2019
