To Diane, Norman Jr., Ted, Terry, Family Members & Friends,
The members of the Canadian Forces Supplementary Radio (SUPRAD) System Oldtimers Association were deeply saddened by the news of Norm's passing. Big Norman, (as he was affectionately known by his fellow Radioman Special / Communicator Research peers and co-workers), was a dedicated leader and highly respected friend. We will forever remember our years of military service and all of the fond memories that were shared in Gloucester, Gander, Masset, Alert, Kingston and other SUPRAD Stations. One thing we know for sure, was that when Chief Petty Officer 1st Class Norman Buist, instructed someone to do something, they did not have to be told twice! Our SUPRAD Oldtimers Association members will be meeting at the Leitrim All Ranks Mess on the 11th of February 2020. At this get-together, we will remember our good friend Norm, share some favourite stories (I am pretty sure there will be lots of them) and have a beer. As we are all members of your extended military family, please know that we will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
'Friends Forever'
