“Norman died on the 13^th June aged 78. At St Bees he excelled at rugby and was chosen to play for England schoolboys while there. The game remained a passion for him and he continued to play until a serious accident in 1960 ended his career. After leaving school he worked for the family firm of H. Henderson & Co. in North Shields and then succeeded his brother and took over the running of the firm of T. Wakefield & Son, funeral directors, where he continued to conduct business in North Shields and Tynemouth until his retirement in 1999. He regularly attended the OSB Dinners held in Newcastle and returned to the school for the last OSB Day just before its closure in 2015.”
