Norman passed away on October 10, 2017.

Son of Frank and Florence (Reid) Cooke.
For over fifty years, he earned his livelihood as a skilled Butcher in the
local area. During the latter part of his life, he also worked as a Taxi
driver. A Jack of all Trades, he dabbled in welding, dry walling and
automotive work. There wasn’t a task he couldn’t tackle!

CB drives and the company of family and friends.
He is predeceased by his sister, Shirley Stemmler (Ont.) and son, John.
Norman is survived by his beloved partner of 30 years, Ellen
MacDonald and his children, Connie MacGibbon (Wayne), Jim (Ruth),
Steve and stepson, Kyle MacDonald; grandfather to Ryan, Emma, Ethan, Alicia, Miranda, Sara and Serenity. He will be greatly missed.
