The family of Norris Earle Sample, of Havelock, Quebec,
is saddened to announce his peaceful passing on Tuesday,
January 16, 2024, in his 87th year.
…
Predeceased by his wife, Lynne Whiteley (1994), his memory will be cherished by his 3 children, Kimberly (Peter Lougas), Deborah (Ronald Buskey), David (Kelly Heaven).

Dear Kim,
Please know that I am very sorry that you lost your dad. I had the occasion to meet and converse with him at the BMH while I visited my own father.
I hope you will find peace in knowing that he is free of pain and in God’s arms.

So sad to hear of Norris’s passing. He and his wife Lynne were very supportive of the horse show at Havelock Fair for many years. Together they raised three strong, responsible and independent children. Our sympathies to you all.
