I would like to send my condolences on the loss of Norma. I did not know her well, but I did spend several hours interviewing her and Jack a few years ago for the Voices of the Grain Trade oral history project. They were delightful and full of stories that we have been lucky enough to preserve. I thought you might like to listen to their interviews, just to hear their voices again. We have posted them on our website friendsofgrainelevators.org. The interviews are in the Voices section of the website. The Gurneys were very special people.

My sincere condolences to the Gurney family. I remember fondly, Mrs. Gurney as a teacher at Westgate. I also remember the whole family as my parents were friends with them. She will be greatly missed by all those who's lives she touched. Thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.

To everyone in the magic circle that Norma and Jack created around that Victor Street piano - my thoughts and heart are with you all through these difficult days.
While painful, the deep loss of Norma's passing finds comfort in the profound gratitude for the love and joy that she, Jack and the whole family brought into our lives. As a lucky beneficiary of that love and (often madcap) joy, I find myself smiling through the tears.
Thank you, Norma and forever love to you all.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences in the loss of your mother. Norma and I went to high school at the same time. Even then she was always dashing from one project to another. Always smiling and never missed a chance to catch up on how things were with you. My thoughts are with you at this time.

Although I didn't know Norma as well as I knew Jack who often pushed me out of the snowbanks in the winter, I remembered her as a kind, caring woman, always there to offer help; had a lovely soul--Norma lived a long life, will be missed by all who knew her.

Glenda and families ~ it is with a very heavy heart I send my most heartfelt of wishes and sympathy in the loss of your Mother. I admired her since the day we met in High School, where she could always be found extending kindness, words of positive wisdom and direction. We continually tripped over each other through the years, and enjoyed each other's company every time. She will always be remembered with reverence and the blessing of having known her.

My sincere condolences to Norma´s family and friends. It was always a pleasure to take a tour on the Welcomship when I lived in Thunder Bay "back in the day", and chat with Jack, Jack Jr and Norma.

Sending big hugs, love and condolences to the family. Norma and Jack were a big part of our lives from our first encounter on my 6th birthday on the Welcome ship after I got my ears pierced. Then again when we made many voyages on personal boats throughout the years. Norma encouraged my inner sparkle / my fire for women's rights and the rights of all people that I carry on today with my work for the Rainbow Collective of Thunder Bay. She will always be with me.

What a wonderful lady! She was one of my favourite teachers at Westgate CVI teaching me typing to some of the old songs like "Brandy". She´d always recognize me around the city. I went to high school with her son Jack.My condolences to her family.

DEAR GURNEY FAMILY:
PLEASE ACCEPT MY SINCERE SYMPATHY ON THE PASSING OF YOUR MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER, NORMA.
MANY YEARS AGO I HAD MRS. GURNEY AT WESTGATE C.V.I. AS MY TEACHER. SHE TAUGHT ME PITMAN SHORTHAND AND I BELIEVE I HAD HER FOR TYPING ALSO.
MRS GURNEY WAS ALWAYS SMILING. I CANNOT REMEMBER A TIME WHEN SHE WAS EVER ANGRY...SHE ALWAYS CARRIED HERSELF LIKE A LADY AND HAD A GREAT SENSE OF STYLE.
LATER, I WAS ABLE TO ENJOY THE WELCOME SHIP TOURS TO OLD FORT WILLIAM THAT MR AND MRS GURNEY RAN.
THAT WAS ONE THING WE DID WHEN WE HAD OUT OF TOWN VISITORS. IT IS ONE OF MY FOND MEMORIES OF THUNDER BAY.
PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELFS AND EACH OTHER.
SINCERELY,
MARTHA JOHNSON

By far, Mrs. Gurney had the biggest impact on my life. As a teenager, going through teenage things, during shorthand or typing class, she always had words of wisdom that I held and do hold near and dear to my heart. Deepest condolences to one beautiful angel that blessed us on this earth.

I was so saddened to read about the passing of Big Norm. She was such a special, unique, talented, caring lady who always showed interest in everyone she met and made them feel special and welcome. She, just as Jack, was truly one of a kind and will be missed by me and so meany others too. My condolences to Glenda, Jack, Dave, Karen and all the Gurney clan on the loss of such a precious mother, grandmother and great grandma. I can just imagine how happy she is now re-united with Jack (and keeping him in line) while singing up a storm together as they did so often. I feel truly privileged to have known them and will always have fond memories of all the great times/music we´ve shared together. She indeed had a life well lived! RIP Norma.
