Today, we said our final goodbyes. We cried, we smiled, we laughed and we shared stories. We remembered the kindhearted, generous, friendly, and fun loving man Norm was. Normโ€™s dedication to serving his country was profound, from the Military, to the Port Authority, and then to the NSW RFS.

Norms passion with the NSW RFS started in 1976, where he joined the Annangrove RFS Brigade. As we heard today in Norms eulogy, his โ€œgo bagโ€ always being at the door with his boots, with Norm eagerly waiting for the pager to go off. To then joining The Hills Catering Brigade (formerly Canteen Brigade) where youโ€™d find Norm guarding the drinks, or telling us stories of his time in the military, and being a mentor for new members. Finally, Norms passion led him to the Mudgee Heritage Brigade. Where he was able to help preserve NSW RFS history and share it with the community. For 50 years, Norm was one of the most respected members of the NSW RFS community.

The Hills Catering Brigade would like to extend our deepest condolences to Norm's family, friends and other brigade members. Norm will be sincerely missed but forever remembered.

Thank a First Responder Day โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

Weโ€™d like to recognise the dedicated volunteers of The Hills Catering Brigade.

While our role may be more behind the scenes, every meal, hot drink, and snack prepared helps support firefighters when they need it most. Whether serving at incidents, training courses, community activities, or during long operational shifts, our brigade members are proud to play a part in keeping our first responders fuelled and ready.

To every member of The Hills Catering Brigade, a huge thank you for your service, teamwork, and generosity to help keep our firefighters and communities strong.

Thank you for everything you do.
