Norman Goodspeed

Norman Goodspeed, now 97 years of age, was only 17 when he joined the Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve.  As with many young men at the time, Norman lied about his age in order to serve his country. He trained aboard HMCS Hunter and later served most of his career, in the supply division for HMCS Saguenay as a cook.  Norm also served on HMCS Protector. After Victory in Europe Day, Norm volunteered for active duty in the Pacific. While on leave, the war ended after the surrender of Japan.

We thank Norm for his service.
