NORMAN McCANN Obituary

Norman McCann Age 74, of Puyallup, WA, died peacefully on July 17, 2015. Norm was born on September 9, 1940 in Tacoma to his parents Case McCann and Dorothy Matthews (Ray). Norm is survived by the love of his life, his wife MaryLee and sons Marty (Kris) and Shawn (Amy) his grandchildren Ryan, Matt, Haley and Hannah, step sister Kay and his eternally loyal dog Lola. Norm ran his own logging company and was passionate about his work. Norm was a great teacher and loved the outdoors including fishing and hunting. Norm was not only a wonderful husband, dad, and grandfather he was a teacher and friend. Norm gave his kids and grandkids a special day during hunting season every year by pulling them out of school to teach them more then they could ever learn in that one day at school! Norm was always there for any sporting event and always had the right thing to say, even if it was wildly inappropriate. He was known for his long, entertaining stories, which he loved to repeat often. Norm was always the most fun person at any gathering. So many wonderful memories made. Norm always had a story for everyone. Stormin Norman was one heck of a man! A celebration of Stormin Norman's life will be held at his heaven on earth The Hoh River Property on Labor Day weekend!
