He was a beloved dad, grandfather, brother, and uncle, Penny loved to visit and have company. He would bless many with 5 a.m. phone calls. He was also known for his athletic prowess in fast ball and hockey, Penny found joy in sports. He also had a passion for the outdoors, manifested in his love for fishing and hunting, where he shared the spoils of his hunts with both loved ones and strangers. And most of all his love for his family and his friends.
Penny was predeceased by his wife Debbie; daughter Hailey; parents AJ and Esther Norton; sister Girlie and brother Alvin Norton.
Penny leaves behind a legacy of warmth and generosity. He is survived by his daughter Amy (Danny); sons Charles & Preston (Natasha) Henry; cherished grandchildren: Kyla & Kaileb Cyr, Lindsay K.
