  • Norman was my Grandad, he always made me feel safe, with warm hugs, never did I here him complain although I knew he had major health issues. I know he liked to take life quietly, but I know his family was his pride and joy. I am so proud he served to save our nation, to protect the lives of New Zealanders. For without him I would not exist. Rest in Peace. We will always be forever grateful.
