Norm Baxter passed away peacefully at home on May 10, 2018. He enjoyed a morning walk and was looking forward to his 60th anniversary dinner with his loving wife Marjorie.
Norm was born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia on April 13th, 1936. He eventually made his way to Kenora where he met his wife Marjorie Tait.
Norm is predeceased by his mother Kathleen, father Ben, brothers Ronnie and Gordon, sister Joyce, in-laws Alma and Bob Tait.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife Marjorie, son David (Pam)-Michael, Paige, daughter JoAnn (Craig)-Brock (Nicole), Dane, Callie (Kyle), son Bill (former wife Vicki)-Stephen, Johnathon (Taylor)-Aubrey. Norm is also survived by sister-in-law Ruth, brother-in-laws Bob (Trudy), Bill (Donna), sister-in-law Jeanie (Malcolm) and many nieces and nephews.
Norm started with the Kenora Police Service in 1957. He had a fulfilling career reaching the rank of deputy chief until his retirement in 1993. Norm was a dedicated, fair and respected policeman. He was fortunate to enjoy 25 years of retirement.
Norm loved the game of golf and gained many friendships, one being Big George! He looked forward to family visits, a daily walk and watching sports on TV. Norm’s family was his priority. He was an honest and humble man who enjoyed the simple things in life. He always showed respect to others.
The family would like to thank the OPP officers (Theresa, Desiree and Jordan) for their care, support and assistance. We’re grateful to Cory and staff at the Brown Funeral Home & Cremation Centre for their guidance and special attention.
We love you and are proud to call you our husband, father and grandfather.
There will be a private family graveside service officiated by Pastor David Boyle, Lakeside Baptist Church.
Donations can be made to a charity of choice in memory of Norm.
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
