Norm was tragically predeceased by his son Jake Daniel Allen in October 2018. He is survived by his loving family: wife Judy, his sons Curt and Erik, their partners Winnie and Jules and Grandaughters Sophie, Billie and Indie. At Norms request a funeral will not be held.

Allen Family
Norm is and will always be a local celebrity. It didn't seem to matter where we were, he always knew everyone. shaking hands with a joking smile. I am privileged to have known him and spent time with him on so many occasions....mostly music festivals and watching the boys play music through the years.
The Allen's have supported our family in so many ways when Andy passed. I hope he's sitting with Jake and Andy...listening to music, fishing and more than likely laughing out of control!
Thanks Norm!!! You're AWESOME! that's how I will always remember you....love ya!!
Love

Dear Judy, Erik, Curt and family. I was very saddened to hear about this latest tragedy. I'm so sorry for your loss. Norm was such a kind person. I'll never forget our lovely dinner we had at the Prospector, seeing him at the Curling Club, all the time we spent at the rinks and our wonderful day at your camp a long time ago. God Bless your family with strength. Marilyn, John and Kim
