Norm was invited to be a member of the Royal Order of Scotland in April 1998 and was a member of the Cameron Highlanders Pipe Band for many years. These organizations provided many deep lasting friendships and memorable fun times. Norm loved his family deeply and was a wonderful father. He was very involved with his children in an era when most fathers were not. He could often be found on the skating rink or toboggan hill, camping with Boy Scouts, teaching his son to drum and ride the horse or even chasing fire trucks with Heather when she was a toddler. He was proud of his children's accomplishments and was always there to encourage them with support in their education and career endeavours. Upon retirement, Norm and Dolly walked many miles a day and took up golf while enjoying their extended summers at the cottage in Clear Lake. Norm also enjoyed travelling the world with the Massed Pipe Band to the Silver Broom and the Rose Bowl Parades.
