At the age of 10 to 14, he would go out to his uncle’s farm and pick stones, help with bailing, help with the farm chores and harvest in the summer. Norm did everything from feed pigs, milk cows by hand, herd cows on foot, drive a tractor pulling a binder in the fall, stooking sheaves after bindering was completed. At the age of 19, Norm left home, joined the military and spent 21 years in the Canadian Armed Forces. While in the military Norm owned horses, and at that time, he even rode an unbroken horse, he broke that horse to ride for a little girl. In the military Norm had traveled from the west coast of Canada to the east coast of Canada and North near the North Pole and South to the 49th parallel. After the military, he had many jobs ranging from driving a tractor trailer, building pig barns to working in Afghanistan supporting the Canadian and United States of America Military. If you ever ask Norm wher was the best place? He will answer, “When I retired, I stayed at home, and stayed very close to and beside my best friend who is also my wife.”view less
