Mon ami et mentor, mon « drumfather », Norman a été un model pour moi tant comme batteur/musicien qu’être humain résiliant. Une des personnes les plus gentil que j’ai eu la chance et le prévilège de connaître de toute ma vie. Repose en pays mon Norman, love you for ever…. Already miss you….
Condolences to Louise and extended family on the passing of Norman. Thanks Louise for the kindness and encouragement that both you and Norman showed me and my Dad, Charles, while in Toronto and Montreal. We will miss Norman’s physical presence but know he lives on in spirit. Take good care, Omar and Charles Gittens
