Prof 7 #1 Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) Hi All, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Stormin Norman Dainton died from a stroke last week. Sounds like it was sudden I knew him from the Land Rover community but know he was on here fairly often. This was him and Carol on 4th August this year when he visited us in Mid Wales. My wife tried to poison him with spicy foreign muck (Spaghetti Bolognese), he'd never had spaghetti before. A true gentleman with a dry northern wit and will be sorely missed by all that knew him.

expeatfarmer 591 #3 Posted September 25, 2023 In case the text gets lost in the header section. Sadly Stormin passed away very suddenly last Monday as a result of a stroke. He visited me the day before and seemed his normal self so it was a real shock. His funeral will be held at Carlisle crematorium on Thursday 5th October at 12.20 Our thoughts are with his partner Carole and their family. 1 1 ranger and Prof reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anglo Traction 1,016 #6 Posted September 25, 2023 So sorry to hear of his sudden passing. My thoughts also are with the family. The loss of a good, 'down-to-earth' person will be much missed, and also on this, and the Redsquare Forum. R.I.P. Norm, we won't forget you.

Jeff I spoke to Carol yesterday and she said no flowers, Norm would have hated the waste of money, but any donations to Cancer Research, a family member has terminal cancer.. She's was calling Norm an old bugger because she'd been in his shed and found out how many tractors he had. She didn't know. Wonder what else she'll find. 5 ACman, Cub Cadet, ranger and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
