Tribute
“Stormin Norman”
October 09, 1930 – March 24, 2014
We are all saddened by the sudden loss of our beloved dad. Dad was predeceased by his wife Florence April 9, 2013, son Kraig October 27, 1996 and Brothers Jim, Cyril, Arthur and Tim sisters Betty and May. Survived by, his Sister Phyllis and many nieces and nephews in England and Canada. Children Rebecca (Ted), Deborah (Dave), Susanne (Ron), Marni (Bill), Kate and daughter in law Susan (Guy), Rick (Sherry and children).
“Grampa Rivers” is also survived by his many grandchildren Kurtis (Rachelle), Jason, Spencer, Aelyssa, Kori (Sonny), Montana (Aaron), Nikki (Matt), Myles (Katie), Katrina (Mitch), Jenny (Clint), Thomas (Erica) and Aaron (Shailey). Great grandchildren, Hudson, Bracken, Karson, Noah and Jack.
Dad loved a good game of crib and a good joke that he was always eager to pass on. He enjoyed watching western movies, the history channel, sports and attending his monthly meetings with the Crofton Pulpmill retirees.
We will miss his story telling, albeit exaggerated, always entertaining. We love and miss you dad.
A special thank you to the ambulance attendants, the team at the Cowichan District Hospital emergency department and especially the attending doctor Melanie Belisle for their tireless efforts and sincerity.
Please join us for Dad’s last farewell to be held at the Cowichan Exhibition Grounds Mellor Hall April 11, 2014 at 4:30 pm to be followed by Grampa’s last “Barn Dance”. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.
