Thinking of you all and sending love. Norman was the loveliest man and we enjoyed his company whenever we got to spend time chatting. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was a great old time dancer. Kind regards Lorraine & Gilly White Riverton

Our thoughts are with you and your extended family at this time as you mourn the passing of Norman.
'Normie' was a special member of the Riverton Senior Rugby team during the 1970's. Many times Norman's special ability as an outstanding place-kicker enabled us to win some closely contested games. It was a pleasure to be part of the 'Front Row Club' with him. I did enjoy, the time I spent with Norm, at the recent 150th Celebration of the RRFC. Now, as your family gathers to share the many fond memories of your beloved family member, our thoughts are with you all.
