Norman LENNSTROM

LENNSTROM, Norman 2009-08-05 At the age of 71, Norman left us to join mom and dad on Saturday, August 1st, 2009. Norman suffered the ravages of throat cancer for a long time and is now finally away from pain and suffering. Norm worked a number of years in many positions as a sailor on the Great Lakes for different companies and also for the Port Arthur Shipbuilding Company. He was a man who would give you the shirt off his back. A master at woodworking, he enjoyed his little shop in the basement to make wood ornaments of all kinds which can be seen at many homes in the city. Norm leaves behind his son Norman Jr. (Emily), grandchildren, Michael, Cody, Cory and great granddaughter Teirra, brothers, Colin (Vera), Russell (Judy) of Kelowna, B.C. (here), and a sister Judy (Fecteau) and many cousins, nieces and nephews, and many very close friends. Predeceased by his dad Lyman in 1996, mom Clarice in 2007. Per his wishes, Norman was cremated and interment of his ashes will be done at a later date. There will be no funeral service per his wishes but a gathering of family and friends will take place at Castlegreen Community Centre, 213 Castlegreen Dr., on Friday, August 7th 2009, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. THANK YOU The family of the late Norman Lennstrom wishes to thank all the special people who gathered at Norman’s side during his long and awful bout of cancer, at home, the Thunder Bay Regional and the St. Joseph’s Hospital, especially Madeline and Roseann who spent many, many hours by his bedside at St. Joe’s.
