Normand was an avid bowler and achieved three perfect games. He loved traveling with Dolores and his family, working in his yard and watching sports, especially the Red Sox. He also was an extremely proud “Pepere” to his three granddaughters. He never missed a dance recital and loved to take them out to breakfast or lunch to talk about “what’s new.”

In addition to his wife, Dolores is survived by his two children, Danielle Blades and her husband, Shawn and Marc Comtois and his wife, Debra of Pelham, NH; his three grandchildren, Samantha, Sydney and Lily Blades; his sister, Sue Peacock and her husband, Dave of Lowell; as well as many other family and friends.
