The Canadian Rodeo Community is sad to note the passing of Norman Edge.

Norman and his wife, Shirley, were married in 1955 and contributed much to the sport of rodeo and the western way of life over the years.

Dogpound, Alberta was the starting point for Norman’s rodeo career. The young cowboy rode steers at age 15, graduated to saddle bronc, bareback and bulls, then settled on the bull riding event for the rest of his riding career.

Norman worked as a rodeo judge for a number of years and served as President of the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association for two years.

Norman and Shirley were inducted into the Canadian Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in the Builder category in 2007 – the first couple to be so honoured.

Condolences go out to Shirley, all of Norman's close and extended family and to his many friends.
