Our deepest condolences to Jeannette and the entire Thomas Family and Friends at this time of loss. Norm was such a good trusted friend to myself, Renee, we morn his passing. Renee remembers Norm fondly helping her as a new diver and mentoring her teaching career. I remember coaxing her to 'call Norm, he may have the answer' When a gentle word or kind shoulder was needed. Thank You for helping her Norm as i reminded you many times of my appreciation. I was lucky to meet up with Norm at his hobby dive shop Aqua Systems Ltd. in late August this year. We spoke, and he congratulated me on the birth of my son Todd on August first. We asked after each others' wives and asked to pass on our greetings to them. We always traded many stories as his and my family grew. A proud father and happier grandfather with the birth of his grandchildren. Norm was a special friend and colleague, we shared many a story about family, life and diving We helped each other through the years and became family. You were a good friend to my Father Todd and that is how we met scuba diving and his dive shop. Your kindness has touched so many people you were a kind gentle and true man. You will be missed by us and always remembered as one of the good people. Whom we had the pleasure to meet on this journey of life. Your friends Robert and Renee Shannon
