Please accept my condolences on the passing of your wonderful dad. I worked with Norm at Cook and Jones Motors he was such a nice man. I remember one year we had xmas party at Murray’s Pond. When all the guys came in I couldn’t recognize them they were all dressed up. I was so used to seeing them with coveralls on and dirty faces and hands. It was a pleasure to work with your dad. Then I went to work with provincial government and low and behold I met paulette I said do you know norm Tarrant and yes it was her had. I always asked you Paulette how your dad was doing.
Please know I am thinking of you and all your family as you bid a farewell to your wonderful kind Dad.
RIP NORM
