Marie, Waterloo, Tilsonburg, and Windsor. Norm and Terry were married in Terry’s hometown of Barry’s Bay in 1954, a place that became his much loved “second home”. Dad’s trademarks were his love of family and friends, his quick humour, his magnanimous hospitality and, of course, his exemplary grammar! He loved travelling to visit friends and family for a good game of bridge or “just a taste” of rum (no ice). Whether dressed in a Santa suit, a Hallowe’en costume, or a Beatles’ wig, he always had a smile, a hug and a firm handshake. Wherever he and Mom went, they made a happy home, lifetime friends and taught us what really matters in life. We will truly miss him.

God made a beauteous garden
With lovely flowers strown,
But one straight, narrow pathway
That was not overgrown.
And to this beauteous garden
He brought mankind to live,
And said: “To you, my children,
These lovely flowers I give.
Prune ye my vines and fig trees,
With care my flowerets tend,
But keep the pathway open
Your home is at the end.”
Robert Frost
