It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Norm. He leaves behind his children, Daniel, David (Debra, Chelsea, Teagan, Hunter and Lilith), and Liane (Barry). He was predeceased by his parents, Adele (Thimot) and Armand (Joseph), his wife Pearl, and his siblings Edmond (Jeanne), Willard (Anna), and Anna (Ken). He is survived by Herbert (Claudette), Andrew (Nora) and Loretta (Jean-Louis).
Norm was a proud 27-year veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force and was awarded the Member of the Order of Military Merit for his distinguished service. He was a man of determination, taking on challenges such as playing hockey for the first time at 65, enjoying a 20-year amateur career.
Above all, Norm was a loyal husband and a devoted family man, finding his greatest joy in spending time with family and friends.
Family and friends are invited to a reception in honour of Norm on Saturday March 22, 2025 in the Hall of Colours of the Beechwood National Memorial Centre (280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario) after 12:00 p.m., followed by a memorial service in the Sacred Space at 2:00 p.m. and interment at 3:00 p.m. at the National Military Cemetery of the Canadian Forces. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.

To the Saulnier Family,
On behalf of my family, I offer our deepest condolences to you on the loss of your dear Father. Having gone to high school with Liane, I did have some occasions to speak with both Mr. and Mrs. Saulnier and remember him as a friendly, mischievous and warm presence. It has always been clear how close-knit a family the Saulniers are; and it is our hope that these close bonds, and your fondest memories of your Dad, will sustain and comfort you in the difficult times ahead.

It was an honour and privilege to serve with Norm. He was an outstanding member of the CF Logistics Branch and a leader and mentor to many many senior and junior Supply personnel. He was not loquacious but was often the smartest guy in the room. We are all diminished by his passing but better for having known him.

So sorry to hear, my condolences to you and the family. I remember when he and your mother used to come and visited us. Such great memories.
I am very saddened by your great loss. Norm was a man of such superior values and I believe there are not many like him. His dedication to his family was something I always admired. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
