Early Life.
In his early life he had trials for Leicester City youth football club. This only came to an end when he was called up for National Service in the RAF. At the end of WWII he maintained various aircraft; most notably the Hawker Tempest fighter (most noteworthy for chasing the V1 rockets) and was involved during the Berlin airlift. In later years he played for Kibworth Bowls Club and volunteered to deliver the Meals on Wheels service.
Thank you.
Norman’s funeral was at St Wilfird’s Chruch on 1 December. The family wish to thank everyone for their kind words and support during the Covid restricted service.
Personal tributes reflected on a quiet, unassuming, modest family man, steadfast and reliable to the end of his days.
