Norman arrived in Port Alberni in 1956 and started working at Woodward’s where he stayed for 34 years, then working for the City of Port Alberni for another 10 years before retirement. When not working, he played hockey, was a supporter of the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, grew a vegetable garden and loved being around his family, especially his grandchildren.
