sledjunk Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 That is very sad. I knew Norm by reputation and spoke to him a few times when I called STP for trail information. He was a great guy and one of the driving forces behind STOP, from what I understand. He will be truly missed. RIP and condolences to family and friends.

Claire Voyant Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Never had the pleasure of meeting Norm, but he was legendary. From my understanding, S.T.O.P. would not have existed without him. After reading his obituary, there is no doubt in my mind that his loss will be deeply felt by the entire Sudbury community. People like that make our world a better place. Most sincere condolences to all of his family, friends, colleagues, and the STP. Rest in peace, Norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
