Mr. Speaker, I would like to send my condolences out to Donald Beaulieu's family of Fort Resolution who sadly passed away on May 27, 2016. He was born on November 15, 1949. Mr. Speaker, Donald was a loving father and husband. Donald was one that would always tell others never to give up, and he always did the same himself. Donald loved sports and it made him very happy when he was involved in sports. He was a very good person, and he was always there for all the kids that were doing sports in his community. Donald was a very talented hockey player himself, and he also played softball and fastball. Donald loved to joke with his family and friends. He is survived by his wife, Carol, his daughter and his sons. He leaves behind many friends and he will be sadly missed by all. I visited Donald a few times when he was in the hospital. He had a very good attitude towards what he was facing although he knew what was coming.
Mr. Speaker, I would also like to do a memorial to the late Bill Norn who was born November 19, 1949. They were only born four days apart, ironically. He died on June 4, 2016. Mr. Speaker, I would like to acknowledge Bill as a very kind-hearted person to his family members. Any of his family members, especially orphaned children and so on, Bill took them in. His grandchildren, he raised his grandchildren and he was in a wheelchair. Anyone that needed help, Bill would be there to help. He was a very successful businessman despite his disabilities. He employed a lot of people. His big dream was to see Highway No. 6 completed, and he wanted to be involved in that. He is not going to see the completion of it, but he has seen the completion of most of it. I am sure that his son, Andy, will keep things moving. Mr. Speaker, Bill is survived by his brothers, Stanley, his younger brother, from Hay River, and Joe, his older brother from Res; his sister, Nora; his children Andy and Lisa; and his grandchildren who he had raised; and numerous other relatives and nieces and so on. His house was always a very busy place. I visited Bill in his home many times when he was wheelchair bound. I was sad to see both Bill and Donald die so young and leave us so soon. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
