Birthday wishes go out to Norm Cook who turned 100 on Saturday, May 28.
\nNorm is a long time Aurora resident and ran Norm Cook Menswear on Yonge Street.
\nHe and his late wife Norma, moved to Aurora in 1957 from Brampton with their three children Beth, Jim and Mary.
\nWhen asked by his five grandchildren was there anything he attributes to his longevity, he said, \u201cKeep active! Physically and socially.\u201d
\nHe was a member of many associations, including the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 385 Aurora (received his 70 year pin), the Aurora Lions Club, the Aurora Chamber of Commerce, the Aurora United Church and more.
\nHe continued to skate with the seniors up until he was 92.
\nAs a veteran of the Second World War, he decided to live at the Sunnybrook Veterans Centre just over five years ago.
\nHe is very involved with their activities and gets around riding on his scooter.
\nHe receives and reads The Auroran so he is always updated with the town.
\nHappy 100th Birthday Norm! You\u2019re the best!
\nBest wishes from your family and friends<\/p>\n
