I am sitting in my living room on a snowy Sunday morning thinking of you as I do most days. I have been thinking of you a lot these days as the 13th anniversary of your passing nears. Your mom, dad and brother Kevin have all passed on and if what is said is true you are all together. You were the only one who was able to control Kevin somewhat!!! I often think of our time together and miss you and our life. Can't believe how quickly time passes. I have no words . Your wife Wendy with love always

Hi Peaches, just sitting here thinking of you and missing our life together. I miss our times together. It is a grey rainy day today and I was telling Marilyn that you and I loved to walk in the rain. Remember when we went hiking in Fish Creek with Nashville and Barclay and it started to pour down on us......we just kept on walking and hours later (or so it seemed) we finally found our way back to our trailer, completely soaked. Good times and I was never afraid because your were with me. I love you still, Wendy xoxoxo

Hi Norm. Just saw that Harold sent you a message. That is crazy, 10 years, know wonder I look so old. Well, you were always the handsome one, so that explains it. As we grew older, our lives seemed to get a little too busy, and getting together didn't happen as often as we liked. I still laugh at many things that went on over the years. Building the deck in the country was a blast. I kept turning the generator off when we were cutting wood, and you kept telling me to leave it on, and not to worry so much about the peaceful atmosphere, otherwise we would have been there all week. When I cooked breakfast and you told me a few times, "don't break my egg yokes". That was a big challenge for me.
I would have never of had that property if it wasn't for your advice. Living life to the fullest was your way of inspiring many to go for it, and to never give up trying. Remember when you put the shingles on your shed in Saint Lazare, and you asked me to hold the ladder while you cut the edges off with a chainsaw. Priceless! I think that you were the first Red Green. Obviously you know that Mom passed a couple of years ago. Hit me like a ton of bricks. Saw her in a dream not long ago, and saw that she was doing just fine. Give her a big hug for me up there. I am going on 69 in March, so it won't be long before we meet again. I will make you bacon and eggs, over easy. Love you Norm.

Well Norm, 10 years, Wow! How time speeds through our lives as we get older. Just wanted to let you know that you haven’t been forgotten, I think of you often! When I have a low day I go back in time in my memory and think of all the fun all of us had when we were kids. And then as we got older all the stupid stuff we got ourselves into.! It was all good fun, with great friends and a great place to grow up. R.I.P. my old friend.

Dad, we only had a short time together but the time we did have I am truly grateful for. You allowed me to grow and be the man I am today because of your honesty and the things you shared with me. I think about you and miss you everyday. Selfishly, I wish you could of met your beautiful grandchildren because they needed a Grampa like you. Love your son.

I am sitting in my little bungalow in Rigaud where I now live with 2 dogs and a cat. Nothing as grand as we had together but it's home and often you are in my thoughts, wishing you were still here. It will be 10 years in January since you left us and I imagine I will miss you till I die and we meet again......

Tomorrow is your birthday. You would be 64. January 26th marked the 4th anniversary of your death. Sometimes it seems like so long ago and other times it was like yesterday. I think of you always and miss you like crazy. Molly died in September and I have another little golden named Winnie. All of our dogs have now gone.....nothing left to connect me with you,just my memories. It's very sad Norman. Love you Peaches.

Norms favorite flower was/is the shasta daisy. I have planted several in his memory. By and large, Norman loved nature: flowers, birds and small furry critters. His favorite birds were the red winged black bird and chickadee and he loved chipmunks!

April 17, 2014

You are missed, you are missed, you are missed! We were all so lucky to have known you Norm. Wendy, if you would share Norm's favorite flower, as a suggestion we could plant one in memory of him.

Norm: It's hard to believe that it is going to be three years since you left us. I think of you often and actually tonight was no different, I went to sleep reminiscing to myself about the crazy stuff we did together and continued to dream about you. Some people might think that's crazy, maybe it is. We were friends for more than 50 years and it does not go away. I had to check in & say Hi.

Hi Peaches,

It is nearing Christmas and thoughts are you are forever on my mind, and in my heart. Your dog Dillon passed away this summer and I placed his ashes with you, so that your faithful friend would always be with you. I miss you so Norman. Sometimes, it is still so hard to believe you are gone. So much has changed and yet, my love for you still remains. I miss you, your sense of humor, your love of life and your eternal optimism.

Brian.

Norm; Another death made the memory of yours return to me quite vividly on Sunday. I know you are gone but when I look around my back yard and see the memories you have left me - it's like you're part of the place and with me always. We all miss you and the rest that have gone before. We'll all be together again soon enough.

Memories...They bring smiles to our faces, or tears to our eyes, and sometimes both at the same time. Losing a loved one is devastating, but we have all been left with a special gift - our memories of you Norm. They are often the only things we have left after that special person is gone. Though at times they may be painful to think about, with them, our loved ones remain a part of us forever.Wendy I wanted to write and tell you how sorry we are for your loss. There are never the right words to express how deeply sad I am that you have to endure your loss.Norm will be truly missed by everyone who knew him no matter where they crossed his path in life.

Norm was a giver, never a taker. He was always there to help no matter how busy he was; no matter the time of day; and, never asking or needing anything in return.

Friends/Uncles like Norm are few in life and it is with a heavy heart that I also grieve with your loss.

His friendship meant the world to us, and I couldn't have asked for a more genuine friend/Uncle than Norm. Memories of our times together regardless of where we where or what we were doing will be forever held dear to us.Wendy may your memories bring you comfort in the days ahead.

Your loss is also everyone's loss.


With my deepest sympathy, your friend,

Rhonda,James and Felicia

My big brother Norm,

All my best wishes to everyone who had a chance to have Norm in his life. He is defintely shining down on all of us. I was lucky, I was there from the beginning.
Ringing doorbells in the middle of the night. Getting chased by the cops and never getting caught. I remember when we used to hang out at Marylin's lounge and see if we could get lucky. Seems, Norm, .....you were much better at that than I was.
I have to thank Norm for teaching me how to drive and getting me my first trucking job when I really needed it. Thanks for being strong when others were weak.
Thanks to all your friends and family who came to pay there respects the other day, .
On that day I realized how many souls you touched.Norm, I don't know if you saw the entry by Alice. That was certainly a long and great time ago.May God always be on your side.
You will always be my big brother.

May I offer my sincere sympathies to the whole Legault family.
I am so glad that when my sisters Wendy and Judy came for a visit from Vancouver a few years ago, we visited Mr. & Mrs. Legault and Norman dropped in. I had not seen him in years, but he looked great.
I still remember him sitting in our kitchen years ago with both hands bandaged caused by a fire from working on a car, if i remember correctly.
You will be fondly remembered Norman, wherever you are!

February 2, 2011

Dear Wendy, Chris and I extend our deepest sympathy to you. Norm was larger than life, as everyone else has expressed, a gentle giant. He really did have a personality that made anyone and everyone feel important. What a great person. We know you will miss him so much, that is a big void to fill. Our thoughts are with you, this has been very sad. With love from Lynne and Chris Green

Victoria Richardson

February 2, 2011

Words cannot describe how it feels to know that you are no longer here. You just made this world a better place and it seems so unfair that you have been taken from us so soon. I will never forget your amazing sense of humility and kindness that made you that special person that you were. Norm, you touched alot of people, including myself and your spirit will remain always. As I reflect back to those weekly meetings with the gang, I think of all the fun we had , the joking and the laughter. Wow that was so much fun, Brother Norm, I will miss you forever !
At this time, I would like to express my sincere condolences to your wife Wendy, your Mom and Dad and your son, who gave you such a gift by coming into your life, and all your family and friends.
Wherever you are I am sure you are having a blast, those lucky ones that have you now!
God bless you Norm and remember, you are a WINNER!

To the entire Legault family and extended Family,

I first met Norm "Uncle Norm" at Journey Freight. I could not believe how gentle his soul was. How kind his voice was. How wonderful of a man he was. Then I met him again at another job and we hugged. That had to been the greastest hug in the world. When I was told of the news I was so saddened to realize that Uncle Norm is no longer here to speak with us, however, he is looking down on all those hearts he touched. May the entire family be spared any further sarrow and let his memory help you through this mourning period. Wendy, please always know that Uncle Norm spoke of you very highly and you were his shining star. God Bless you...

Paul & Diane Laflamme

Norm, will be deeply missed. He was always smiling and never short on words of encouragement and happiness. He was a gentle giant that embodied the meaning of optimism. His smiling face and kind ways will always be fondly remembered. Thank goodness his torment is over, may Norm now rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Wendy and family, may God grant you courage and strength during these difficult times.

Sincerely,

I think from the first day the Legault family moved onto our street, Norman and I became friends. He was such a kind and gentle person. I was saddened when I learned of his battle with cancer. My heart goes out to all of Norman's family at this time and in the days ahead. RIP Norman

Bernie Landry

January 30, 2011

First time I met Norm was at business breakfast in 2000. I remember him standing up smiling and promoting a golf tournament he was involved with. What a happy soul I thought. Everyone laughed at his early morning humor.

When I organized business events and gave seminars he always supported the events and brought others with him to the seminars. And not just my events, but Norm always helped out others in business with in the Montreal west end. Heck even supporting and working with others across north America.

We have worked together for over 8 years and we became good friends.

Norm I will miss our coffee times at Java U, 2nd cup, and where ever we hooked up.

I remember you always gave a chance to several young fellows that worked in your warehouses and you always made people feel good that they came by.

Buddy, you made me laugh and your voice on the phone is a memory I will always cherish.

You will be sadly missed, but my world has been blessed with your presence. Salute Birdie Man with great love

To my dearest uncle Norman,

The last time i saw you was Feb. '10, when Nick and I came to visit home from living here in Grimshaw, AB. We were there to announce the great news that i was pregnant. You came with other family and friends to dinner with us the night we landed, and i was so happy to see you there. I know it was a difficult time for you battling cancer and i was so thankful that you came to visit me that night. It meant so much to me.

Althought you will not be meeting Colton, i know that you are looking down on us now and smiling, giving me the thumbs up on what a great little guy he is. He actually reminds me of you: he's always smiling, laughing and playing. All i'm waiting for now is for him to start talking and impersonating people, which you did almost each time i saw you when i was a kid, and it made me laugh so hard.

You always showed me great love and kindness, and took interest in what i was up to and how i was. You would do anything for anyone at anytime. You were so sincere and i just loved being in your presence. You were a great uncle (and still are) and although we didn't get to see each other much these past few years because of me living in AB, always know that i was thinking about you and my love for you has always been strong.

It's so hard to be so far away from family during these times, especially with a baby, because it's not so easy to just get up and go to Montreal! I am really sad that i can't be there next week for you aunti Wendy, my dad and the rest of my family during this time. I will be thinking of you all and my prayers will be with you.

I love you uncle Norman.

We will remember you forever! Jeff, Johanne and the kids.

Where can I begin.
Norman & I have been friends for over 50 years.
In our "younger" days we worked together, played together and partied together.
We had an awful lot of fun together.I am thankfull that I still have my memory because whenever I think of Norm he can still make me smile.I have some great stories and memories.
Although we ended up living almost 3000 miles apart we remained good friends.
My heart aches that I will not be able to speak with my friend anymore.
He was a "Gentle Giant" of a man who loved life, animals and the people around him.
He will be missed by all the people that he encountered while on his life's journey.
Wendy, I feel some of your pain and I pray that in time we all can understand why he had to leave us.
I think that God needed another good soul to help look after his flock and he only wanted Norman.
My thoughts & prayers go out to all of Norm's family.
Norm, Thank you for being my friend for all these years.
Rest in Peace my friend.

It is with a lot of sadness when I read of Norman's passing. He is in a much better place and isn't suffering any longer.

I think back all those years ago when I first started going out with Chris and Norman and the boys were always at the garage or elsewhere. We used to have great fun. He will always be remembered for his funloving nature.

God rest his soul - sleep in peace.

My sincere condolences

I am deeply sorry that the world has lost Norman. His love for life was infectious!
It still does not seem real but Wendy I want you to know how much he meant to my family.
As I look out my window I can imagine him out working on the beautiful property that he loved so much. It will be a memory that will stay with me always. It will also be a memory that my children will keep with them as well. A little while back Dylan had to do a project on his neighbourhood...what do you think he drew??? A picture of Norm riding his tractor with a big smilie on his face. It made me feel happy to know that my boys were lucky enough to have a neighbour and friend like Norm.
My family and I are so blessed to have known Norm.
Good bye neighbour.
Love Dylan, Curtis, Andrew and Vicky xo

I am very sorry to hear of Normans passing. I had known Norman for many years. As a local kid growing up in the same area.
Later on in life I had the privilage of re-encountering him as a co-worker at Can-Am Marine and I also had the privilage of working for him on a few occasions. Then as a customer on my daily delivery runs.
Norman always had a welcoming smile and always had the time to share a few words when I would encounter him.
He had met my children in thier infant years and was always eager to hear how they were doing and quite proud of thier accomplishments as they grew into adults.
I thank him for his respect most greatly and will always see his big grin and hear his laughter.
My heart goes out to you Wendy and to all his family and friends.
Thank you Norman , you were a down to earth person , a true friend who took interest and showed comradery to all.
Goodbye Norman , your friendship was greatly appreciated. Keep on trucking.
Sincerely , Stephen Pamer and family.
