Norm you were so many things to alot of people but to us you were our brother,as we keep our memories close to our heart the feeling is not the same cause your not hear for us to see.... You were unexpectedly taken from our lives but as we try to remember that God has a bigger and better plan for you my brother... I know you were always waiting for Justin and I to start a family well bro 7 years on were finally pregnant in which Justin says you must have been looking after us....

jason this is michelle (norms wife) please contact me via mackay funeral directors i would really like to talk with you and thanks for your kind words at the church

My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Norm, you were the funniest guy, even to a little munchkin like me - you always had time for everyone, and always made the time to laugh. Thank you for being so kind, I will never forget you, you were one of my foundations for life - I will always miss you, and I'm sorry I never got to tell you what you meant to me, I was so sure we'd meet again.... Rest in Peace, my big buddy forever.

My sincerest sympathies to the Freeman family and Normans friends and loved ones. Cathy, you are often in my thoughts and these past days even more so. Kristin den Exter, (TKIS)

To the Freeman family our thoughts and prays are with you in this sad time. We were so blessed to have had known Normie and shared a lot of good times whist he stayed here in Perth with us. A real mate and a legend the funniest fulla we have ever met. He will be sadly missed, but never forgotten alway in our hearts Freo, Love ya Bro Rest in peace. Jason, Janelle & The Farmer & Bligh families

What a great guy, norm you will be missed buddy. I have soooooo many stories of Norman and myself getting into some hilarious trouble at Nudgee College. Although i always got caught because he could run much faster than me. He always had a smile or a joke to lighten any situation. I remember he once fell alseep in study time in year 11, only to be woken by a supervisor.............. much to everyones laughter he had drooled all over his desk the size of a plate.......... I am laughing as i am writing this. You were and always will be remembered as a great friend. To the entire Freeman Family & Frineds May your memories stay strong, and all my thoughts are with you. Thommo

My sympathy's go out to all of Norman's family and his friends that loved him. He will be sadly missed. Rest in Peace Love Andie xox TKIS

I think we can all agree Norman was one of the funniest, kindest, happiest persons we will ever meet. When I think of Norman his huge infectious smile comes to mind and his comic ways. He will live on in our hearts and our memories. Love to Cathy and family.

Normie was known to us as 'Fringie' from his John holland railwork mates in WA. Always had a smile on his face before you even said hello to him and he used to always say 'what's that' . He left a memory of himself that we will carry with us always. Rest in peace Fringie YOUR MATES IN WA Lance, Louie, Punchy,Scotty from Mackay

My sincere condolences to the Freeman family, from a Mum of a past TKIS student and athlete.

I will always remember Norman for being such a beautiful person and such a loving and caring friend. I will never forget when I got injured by my horse kicking me. Norman was the first to rush into the sick bay to make sure I was alright. He also managed to put a smile back on my face with his goofing around as usual. Such a bright light and so loved by everyone that ever got to know him. My memories are all good ones of Norman and his larger than life smile. I just hope he realised how much he was loved. All of my love to all of Norman's family. Rest in peace

Gotta Say, The experience I had with Norman, was memorable, we used to wind up our Athletics coach and he was well renowned for his "Gas" explosions. rest in Peace Norm Gurpal Atwal TKIS

I always remember Norman for his smile and the way he made any situation seem not so bad. Even the countless times he was kicked out of Biology and he would sit outside and meow like a cat. Our teacher would try to ignore him and get on with the class but even he would end up cracking a smile... He never had a bad word to say and even on a bad day Norman would make anyone and everyone around him smile and laugh... You will be missed my friend but you will never be forgotten...Rest In Peace.

Norm really was the funniest guy I've ever known. Always laughing, always seeing the funny side of even the most serious things. I only have good memories of him, his laugh, his jokes, his kindness. I am blessed for having known him, and 50 years from now I will still smile when I think of him and that beautiful smile, and that fabulous laugh. Rest in peace my friend, you will never be forgotten!

With respect

Year 11 class, Kooralbyn International School... Norm's sitting down the back. Everyone is being a clown, Norm is swinging on his chair, mysteriously falls forward and cracks his chin on the side of his desk. Norm's one of the bigger kids so to see him almost lose conciousness so unexpectedly was something different. Year 11 was bearable because of you buddy and the various other budding comedians. Rest in Peace.

Fond childhood memories flood my mind of mate & neighbour, rest in peace buddy.. My condolences to the whole Freeman family..

Best Regard to the Freeman family. I can still remember the tall skinny kid pulling all the gags at Nudgee. You will be missed but not forgotten.

My heart goes out to Cathy and the rest of the family. It is so tragic to lose a relative, especially one so young as Norman was. May Cathy remain strong during this difficult time.
