Norman Charles Eggert passed away peacefully at Seaforth Community Hospital, on Monday, January 14, 2019. In his 92 years among us, Norman lived his life with love for family, devotion to faith and his incredible memory for names, dates and places made him a valuable source of family and community history. Norm will be lovingly remembered by his wife Laura (nee Jackson) with whom he shared 69 years of married life, and their children Carole Eggert (George Hopf) of Stratford, DJ Eggert of Bayfield, Lorna Eggert (Mark Knechtel) of London and Susanne (Stephan) Evanitski of Keswick. Fond memories of a special grandpa remain with Ryann, Ethan and Lauren Evanitski. Norm will also be remembered by siblings-in-law Grace McNichol, Wilfred and Peggy Jackson, Harold Jackson and many nieces, nephews and friends. In faith we trust that Norman’s spirit is now reunited in eternal life with his parents Charles and Ida (nee Hartmier) Eggert, his sister and brother-in-law Della and Irvin Rock, siblings-in-law Mary and Ernie Whitehouse, John and Deanna Jackson and Aubrey McNichol. Visitation was held at McGLYNN FAMILY FUNERAL HOME (519-527-1390) 87 Goderich Street West, Seaforth on Thursday, January 17, 2019 from 12 till 1:45 p.m. followed by a service to honour Norm’s life at 2 p.m. A reception was held in the fellowship hall of Egmondville United Church.

Dear Family:
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time.
George Darling
On behalf of all his neighbours & friends in Sunset Estates where Norm & Laura spent many a summer we wish to express our deepest sympathies & condolences to the family. Norm was a fixture at the lake & I learned one important thing from Norm, farmer&&single&&s never pay for dirt, you just move it from one location to another when needed. Good advice when you are trying to be a good gardener. George Darling past president of the Association.

Laura, Lorna, Susanne, DJ, Carole and family.
Debbie and I were sorry to learn of Norm’s passing. What a great age to live to and share so many years with Laura. I have some fond memories of Norm from the cottage with some of his many funny stories that he used to share, and enjoyment of the neighbourhood pot lucks. May your memories be a comfort to you in the days ahead and may God give you added strength during this difficult time.
Grant Wren
Our sincere sympathy to the entire family. May all your fond memories give you peace during this difficult time.

Laura. Bruce and I are thinking of you at this time. It was great that we got the opportunity to see you both last May while we were in Ontario. We talk about Norm often, especially when having horseradish ?
