DR. JABEZ MACPHERSON NORMAN (SEPT. 28, 1941—APRIL 30, 2015) The family and community of the late Dr. Jabez (Jave) Norman is left saddened and shocked by his recent passing on April 30,2015 at the Health Science Centre in St. John’s Nl. after a month long stay at the facility. Born and raised in Port Union, Nl. He was predeceased by his parents John and Bertha (Johnson) Norman, brother Maxwell, nephew Edgar Norman Jr., and his brother in law Cyril Porter. He leaves behind a loving family- Wilma (Mouland) his wife and best friend of 46 years, his treasured son and daughter-John and Jessica, his son in law Colin Campbell and his daughter in law Leann Pardy and his adored grandson Andrew Campbell. Also left to mourn, his sister Rosalind (John Hamilton) in Toronto, his sister Myrtle (Fred Chard) in Port Union, his brother Edgar Norman Sr. (Viola) in Catalina, his sister in law Paula (Tom Buns) in Chicago, his brother in law Rennie (Ruth) in Labrador City and many cousins, nieces, and nephews, friends and colleagues. As a physician, Dr. Norman spent the last 33 years practising family medicine in his home area serving his community with clinics in Catalina and Bonavista, having been a high school teacher for 12 years prior in various Nl. communities. Outside of medicine he served his community in volunteer roles and in his private life he had many interests and passions. He loved to golf with his buddies who will miss him; he looked forward to trips with his fishing and moose hunting buddies; he played recreation hockey for several years; He completed the Tely 10 four times; he was a certified diver and bronze medallion swimmer; he loved reading --literature, history, politics; he was a keen movie and trivia buff and an abiding animal lover. A favorite collection of his included the books by the great British veterinarian James Herriot. But his passion was music, with eclectic and varied musical tastes from Sarah Brightman to George Jones. His deep knowledge of old country music spanned decades from MUN Radio to singing and playing his Gibson J200 and Martin D18 at the Garrick theatre in Bonavista. His tremendous sense of humour and sharp wit will be greatly missed. Cremation has occurred. Visitation will take place at Strathie's Funeral Home in Catalina on Tues. May 5th and Wed. May 6th from 10 am to 10 pm. Flowers are accepted and any monetary gifts given in his memory will be dispersed to animal charities by his family.
