The family of Norman Louis O’Neill sadly announces his passing at his home, surrounded by his loved ones, on July 16, 2024, at the age of 84, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Norman’s legacy as a trucker lives on in his namesake company, Norman O’Neill Trucking Ltd.  He spent his entire life building his business and supporting his children and grandchildren through their schooling, careers and sports. He will be remembered for his love of family and his dedication to his work. His quiet, teasing nature, and easy grin will be missed by all who loved him.
