Continue ReadingWilfred “Norm” Cadieux, age 95, a resident of Port Charlotte, FL, passed away peacefully on February 27, 2021 at Englewood Community Hospital in Englewood, FL.
Born in Fall River, MA, he was the son of the late Wilfred and Mabel (Gaboury) Cadieux. Norm was a US Navy Veteran of World War II having served in the Navy on the U.S.S. FRANKLIN. He was proud of his service to his country and often attended FRANKLIN reunions.
Prior to retiring, Norm worked as a Master Mechanic at Hascon Industries in Taunton. Soon after his retirement, Norm and his wife moved to Tiverton, RI where they owned a house on Fogland Beach. Norm was very active in beach life and loved his water sports. He was an avid cyclist and on more than one occasion participated in the Century Race. In the late 1990s, Norm and Irene moved to Port Charlotte, FL where he embraced his new community making lots of new friends. He truly enjoyed his time in Florida where he could take long trips exploring on his bicycle all year round. He continued his bike rides until shortly before his death. He loved playing in his yard: mowing, gardening, and feeding his birds; visiting his neighbors on his tractor; and spending lots of time in his hobby room. Norm will be missed by all.
Norm is survived by his wife of 70 years, Irene Costa Cadieux, and their 3 children; his daughter Patricia Walker and her husband Kenneth, his son Michael Cadieux and his wife Tracy, and his daughter Renie Hamman and her husband Jim; 5 grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren; a sister, Jeannette, and many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his other six siblings.
A family memorial service will be held in Massachusetts this summer.
Donations in Norm’s name can be made to: The Naval Institute Foundation, 291 Wood Road, Beach Hall, Annapolis, MD 21402 / https://www.usni.org/donate or to the National or a State Audubon Society.

I miss you more as the days go by Dad. You were a wonderful father and happy memories will remain forever. You taught me how to ride a bike, swim, and drive a car (pretty frightening for you I imagine). You taught me other things as well such as the importance of working hard and setting goals. You will never be forgotten. With love, Pat.

My thoughts and prayers to Norman's family. In his presence you were his friend as he had conversation and a smile for everyone he met. He was such a positive influence in the lives of his grandchildren. Take comfort in the knowing he lived life to the fullest and was surrounded by so many that loved him.
