NORMAN EDWARD STEWART

Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

• It is hard to believe that Norm has been gone for a full year! I think of Norm quite often and still remember quite a few of our adventures together. When I moved out of my parents house for the first time it was with Norm to an apartment we shared together in Rotunda Towers in St. Vital. Norm was the seasoned veteran as he previously had his own apartment off River Road. Unfortunately he still had his giant plaster fireplace that he was lugging around (very heavy). We were fortunate to have a pizza joint around the corner or we would have starved. Norm moved onto Saskatoon from there and took his fireplace with him. I know that when Norm became a father he loved his children and was very proud to tell his friends all about their adventures as they were growing into the fine young women they have become. He was a very proud grandfather and it was sad to see his declining health keeping him from enjoying them even more then he did. His last few years were a struggle but it did not keep Norm from enjoying life and the company of his family and friends. Norm was always the kind hearted guy that just wanted everyone to get along and be happy. We miss you Norm !! Marvin Chitick - Posted by: Marvin Chittick (friend) on: Jul 05, 2023

• So sorry to hear of Norm's passing. I was lucky to have him as a neighbour on Clonard and then again when we would see one another at Safeway on Osborne; and when seeing one another at Lord Roberts/Riverview events. My condolences to the family. - Posted by: Nancy Gillen (nee Johnston) (Friend/Neighbor ) on: Sep 14, 2022

• Norm was a great friend. Glenwood community club teen dances. Parties sharing friendship with a lot of Glenwood and Glenlawn memories. Past president of Glenlawn collegiate. I remember the first time he met Cathy. His friendship with Marvin Chittick until the end. Thanks Marvin you were a true friend to Norm. 🙏 - Posted by: Jim Haslund (Friend ) on: Jul 11, 2022

• I so remember Norm (with his bright red hair if memory serves me right) during our Glenlawn School days. He could be found at the Glenwood Friday evening dances and enjoying all his friends. I lost contact with a lot of my friends through the years as Gary & I left Winnipeg in 1975 and moved through Saskatchewan, Alberta, BC and now back to Okotoks. I still remember what a friendly and happy person that Norm was and enjoyed our school years together. He will be missed by all his family and friends for sure. - Posted by: Glenda (Moloski) Hutchinson (Friend) on: Jul 11, 2022

• Norm was a true gentle man. I have always known him as a humble and loving person. Respectful and mature beyond his years. Maybe that’s why he was Student body President at Glenlawn Collegiate. Obviously his parents had a big influence on him. We lost track a bit in our busy lives but reconnected later with our friend Marv. We enjoyed many birthday lunches together over the last number of years. Norm gave me an introduction into distance swimming which I enjoyed for many years. I can still remember our discussion about this pastime at our friends (Neil McLean) funeral. He laughed when he asked you sure you want to do this?? Even with his Parkinson’s and care home lockdown because of Covid he tried his best because to be a swimmer in the middle of a lake there is no time to quit. He was a dedicated father who loved his daughters and especially his grandchildren where Marv and I could always see the pride when asked about them at one of our visits or lunch. RIP my Friend … you will be missed … swim some laps for me!! - Posted by: John Mitchell (Friend ) on: Jul 11, 2022

• So sorry to learn of Norm's passing. I was glad that we were able to visit a few years ago and catch up on things. I fondly remember trips to his family's cottage, leaving to use pocket knives safely when we were in scouts, and formal Sunday dinners wearing jackets and ties at our Grandma's. - Posted by: Kevin and Gladys Stewart (Cousin) on: Jul 09, 2022

• We are so sorry to hear of Norm’s Passing. Larry and Norm became friends in their teens. I first met Norm when I started dating Larry in 1973. Norm became a close friend to us both. We left Winnipeg in 1976 but remember when we lived in Regina and Norm was living in Saskatoon we would visit often. We then moved on to Calgary and unfortunately lost touch with quite a few of our Winnipeg friends. Norm was such a kind and caring person. Our hearts go out to you all in your time of sorrow. - Posted by: Larry & Beatrice Johnston (Friends) on: Jul 09, 2022
