I am sad to report the death of my uncle, Norman Grant Bezanson, last week in Edmonton. Born 20 Sept 1929, he was the last surviving member of the family of William A. and Jennetta Belle (Naugler) Bezanson. He lost his wife, Marie, in 2015 as well as two adopted sons, Ellis in 2004 and Karl in 2018. He is survived by his daughter Donna, son Robert (Armando), and granddaughter Sara.

We were so happy to be part of his 90th birthday celebration along with Donna, Sara, cousins, nieces, nephews and other relatives during his visit to Nova Scotia in 2019.

Uncle Norman was active in the labor movement, both in Nova Scotia and Alberta throughout his working life and in retirement was an active member of Alberta Council on Aging.¹
