Norm has joined his dearly loved and sadly missed wife Wendy Susan Parker (d. 2007).

Norm proudly served 35 years in the RCMP, achieving the rank of Sergeant and enjoyed postings throughout Ontario, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland before his final posting at "O" Division in Toronto until 1990 when he retired. He then went on to a brief contract with CSIS.

He served many years in the Pickering Hockey Association as a player in the Old Timers League on the Bay Sports team; as a coach and referee as well as conducting a hockey school for the Town of Pickering.

He passed on his love of the pursuit to his son who carries his legacy proudly. He was the much-loved son of Jack and Edna (Hillyard) Ross; adored by his sisters Morna Backa (d), Glenn Bahm (Arnprior), Laurel Perase-Ross (Vancouver); and brother Douglas (Ottawa). Survived by his children Joanne Ross; Eric (Debbee); Ivan (Tina); Jennifer Inglis (Doug – d. 2021) and Sharon Ross.
