Dear Sandra, Nigel , Lani and families,
We were all shocked and saddened to hear of Norm’s passing. Sarabande Crescent will never be the same.
Our father, Kevin Hede thought the world of Norm. He always talked about his skilled work. Dad had been in the Navy with Norm’s father.
We wish you well in the hard days ahead.
The family of Kevin and Irene Hede. Across the road.

Sending love and condolences on the news of Norms passing. I still have so many fond memories of our time in the sleepy hollow of the church estate. He was such a great man.

Love to Sandra, Lanie and Nigel. Thinking of you all at this time <3

Sandra and Family,
My heart goes out to you. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Remembering Norm's strong hugs and genuine smile every time I saw him, I have always thought of him as "Uncle Norm".
I'm thinking of you, remembering Norm and celebrating his life today. Wishing you the courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to hold in your heart forever.

In 1982 Doug asked Norm if he would help him build his dream home.
Norm did not know Doug but was willing to "give him a go"
42 years later this house remains our family home.
A tribute to Norm and his wiliness to help someone.
Thinking of you Sandra, and your family at this very sad time.


Thinking of you Sandra, and your family during such a sad time.

Our thoughts are with you Sandra and your family.
From football in the 70’s, building our house, paddling the Glenelg River to regular coffee @ Doc Hughes, Norm was a delight to share time with.
We hope you find comfort in knowing that he brought wonderful memories to so many people.
