So sorry to hear of Norm's passing, he did several jobs for my family in the late 70' and early 80's. He was a true craftsman and an honorable man!!! People still marvel at the stone wall he built in our back yard and it is as perfect today as when he built it nearly 40 years ago!!!

To Norm Dymond Family,
Sorry to hear that Norm has left this world for a new home in Heaven, he will be more than welcomed with open arms from the our father in heaven.
My love goes out to everyone whom I haven't seen in way too many years, but still feel the loss when a family member leaves us.
No matter how his day was going he still had time to care for someone in need.His work was working with brick and stone but his love was built on soild rock which will be remembered for ever.
Love to all
