He began working at a young age on the sea under many fishing captains including his brother, Henri. He was also a pipefitter by trade and a longtime member of UA Local 244. Norm loved to be busy. An avid outdoorsman he loved fishing and hunting. His retirement years were spent surrounded by nature in his home on Loon Lake which Andre built for he and Fran. He especially enjoyed his fishing and hunting trips with his son, sons in law, and grandson. He especially treasured his fishing derbies at Loon Lake and his fishing trips to Thunder Bay. Oh the fish stories he would tell! Norms favorite pastime was playing cards and he was known to be extremely lucky. He never tired of playing cribbage. Norm was exceedingly proud of his family. He enjoyed talking and being with people. Even in his illness he made it a point to regularly keep in touch with family and friends. One of his proudest achievements was when he became a friend of Bill W., a friendship he shared with many others in the subsequent 54 years.
