Vernon, BC on July 24, 2012. Norm is survived by his wife of over 50 years,

Gladys; three children: Lynne (Mike) Dulaney of Calgary; Neil (Heather) of

Peachland; Leslie of Penhold, AB; and two grandchildren, Blaire and

Rhys MacNicol of Calgary. He is also survived by three brothers: Gerald

of El Centro, CA; David (Edna) of Calgary; and Daniel (Linda Wolfenden)

of Vancouver; and his sister-in-law, Mary of Osoyoos. He was predeceased

by his parents, Herman and Lucy; and his oldest brother, Hans, all of

Norm joined the RCMP in 1958, and was very proud of

being a member of the Force. During his 38-year career,

he was involved in general duty policing in Saskatchewan,

where he served as detachment commander in

four postings, section NCO in Saskatoon Subdivision,

and Emergency Response Coordinator for the province.

He rose through the ranks, achieving the rank of

Inspector, and was posted to Ottawa and Thompson,

MB. While in Ottawa, he served as an investigator

in the national War Crimes unit, travelling to Europe

and the Middle East. In 1995, he and Gladys retired to

Vernon, where they were active in the United Church,

RCMP Veterans Association, and Lions service club.

Norm will be remembered fondly by family and friends

as a major influence and mentor, both professionally

and personally, to many over the years.

Services will be held at 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, July 31st,

2012 at Trinity United Church, Vernon. In lieu of flowers,

friends and family may make donations to North Okanagan

Hospice House or the Canadian Cancer Society.
