  • Today marks 20 years since Grandad Norm died. I have felt this loss for a great part of my adult life. Norm loved his grand children and made me feel very special. Our relationship was very important to me and I was lucky enough to have spent a lot of time with him growing up. It is only now that I can reflect how remarkable it was for such young men to enlist in the army and make such a contribution and sacrifice for our country and to lay the foundation of the life I lead today. Love you grandad Norm, you are never forgotten. X
