Hi.
I was sad to read of Norman's death. He was a great guy to know and talk to. We had some great trips and reunions with Norman, Margaret, and the Meat Board members from the 1980s. Please accept my condolences. Unfortunately, I will not be able to be at the service. Best Wishes

So sad to read the news of Norman’s passing. We spent many good moments together and his friendship and positive attitude to life were at the centre of his character. With the wonderful Margaret, time together was always special and, although we were not able to see each other for many years, his infectious laugh remains etched in memory. Condolences to all the McRae family. May his memory be a blessing to all. Gerry B

Sorry to hear that Norman has passed away. Fond memories of Norman in his Meat Board days and all the delegations and visits he undertook with our Dad. Always a lot of laughter when Norman and Margaret were with Adam and Jean.

Thank you for sharing Norman's service on line. It was great to hear the tributes to a man we only got to know toward the end of or time in Invercargill. We remember the hospitality of their home, their wisdom and encouragement. Our warm condolences to all the family, and to the family of First Church in this time of loss.
