Obituary for Norman Eldon Sandford McKinley

Norman McKinley 1945 - 2017
Left us too soon on March 11, 2017, after a valiant battle with leukemia and pneumonia. Beloved son of Joan and the late Harry Syratt, wonderful father of Yvonne (Dan), Beth, Melody (Rick) and the late Jason (Michelle), amazing grandfather of Zachary, Abigail, Makayla, Kaitlyne, Madissen and Rebecca and loving brother of the late Donna (Joe), Helen (Jim), John (Leith), Dianne (Gil), Lorraine (Fred) and Valerie (Brad). Incredibly missed by so many nieces, nephews, Aunts, Uncles, cousins, and a multitude of friends across Canada and throughout the world. Norm was a funny, quirky, friendly and compassionate man who showed his love and caring for family and friends in so many ways. As a proud veteran of the Royal Canadian Navy, an experienced DJ and, finally, an enthusiastic school bus driver, Norm worked hard at everything he did but found ways to enjoy it all. He had a passion for stamps, trains, and collecting, which was evident throughout his entire life, and he always loved a good auction or garage sale. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends but time spent with his grandchildren was treasured. His smile, laughter and silly jokes will always be remembered but the love he had for everyone in his life will live on. As per Norm’s wishes, no funeral is planned however a Celebration of Life will take place in the coming months. If you would like to honour Norm donations to the Big Brothers-Big Sisters of York Region or Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, two organizations in which he had been involved for many years, would be greatly appreciated.
