It is with profound sadness that we learned of Graham Norman's passing. One of Calypso's founders, Graham was a kind, compassionate advocate for inclusion and acceptance. His patience, sense of humor and ability to recite poetry were always evident whenever our paths crossed. Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of our Dad at age 92 years. Predeceased by his wife Phyllis, his parents, Captain Bill and Evelyn Norman, his sister Nita Spencer, his brother in law Austin Piercey, and other extended relatives. Leaving to mourn, his loving family, sister

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tracy Canning. A part of our Calypso family since 1995, she became not only a client but a cherished friend.

Tracy loved working in the Green Depot and learning new things in the classroom. She was our shopping diva who enjoyed showing us her purchases and talking about where to find bargains. Always up for a bit of fun, she enjoyed our parties, baking classes and the days we put the pot on.

It was easy to see that Tracy loved her family and she was proud to share their news. Her time spent at Bowling and Home League were some of the evenings she enjoyed most.

We will miss her kindness, gentle smile and happy nature. Our thoughts are with her family and friends as we share this profound loss.

Celebrate the life of Tracy Canning and join others in sharing memories, stories, and condolences.
