SAVARD, Normand Joseph Edouard "Norm" July 7, 1969 - August 29, 2008 - 39, Dartmouth, passed away unexpectedly on August 29, 2008. Born in Parent, Que., he was a son of Raymonde Duchene and the late Michel Savard. Norm served 20 years in the Canadian Navy.

Norm enjoyed constantly being surrounded by his family and friends. His passion for life was only surpassed by his love for Michelle and Mathieu. His love of the outdoors included the adventures of hunting, fishing, low riding on his motorcycle, carving the ski hill, and everything from birdies to bogeys on the golf course. Despite having heart complications, his heart remained larger than life. Everyone who knew Norm felt their life had been touched by such an amazing man. His compassion, positive attitude, and contagious laughter will forever remain with us.
