NORMAN “NORM” ERNEST HORE

NORMAN “NORM” ERNEST HORE November 20, 1935 – March 15, 2023 In loving memory of Norm who passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at the age of 87 years. Norm was born on November 20, 1935 in Mindemoya and grew up on his families’ small farm in Honora Bay. After graduating high school, he left for Sudbury and began working for INCO, spending 35 plus years with the company until his retirement. Norm met Marguerite (nee Paisley) and they married in 1964. They moved to Lively raising two children and enjoyed many good times with friends. Norm was community-minded and instrumental in starting Lively’s first Little League Baseball organization for kids to play ball. Throughout his life he was a dedicated Mason and Shriner and developed numerous friendships and generously gave his time to those organizations. After Norm and Marguerite retired, they moved back to the Island and lived in Little Current. He loved his vegetable garden and was extremely proud to show it off to anyone that visited. Norm loved the outdoors and spent much of his spare time out at “the farm” in Honora Bay puttering and fishing in both the summer and winter. Norm loved music and he played the clarinet, drums and later in life the “wash tub” became his go to instrument. Norm and Marguerite enjoyed travelling and were fortunate to have visited many places during their time together. Norm will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 59 years, Marguerite; his children Tom (Donna) and Tim (Susan) and his brother Doug (Marilee). He will be fondly remembered by his five grandchildren Jessica (Paul), Josh (Allison), Sydney (Mitch), Graeme and Alison and his five great-grandchildren, Sophie, Rosalie, Brooke, Peyton and Zoe. Norm was predeceased by his parents Ernest Sylvestor Hore and Margaret Julia (Armstrong). A Celebration of Life was held at Island Funeral Home on Monday, March 20, 2023 at 2 pm.
