Norman Anthony Bournival

Norman Bournival, 61, of Wasilla, Alaska and longtime resident of Waterbury & Cheshire, CT., died on Feb 22, after suffering debilitating complications upon contracting the coronavirus. His death devastated his four children Dr. Heather LaSelle (Matt), Cristy Harmon (Josey), teenage sons Lance & Vince Bournival, and step-son Trace Anderson. Others suffering include his mother (Lucille Vitulano), step-mother (Jill Bournival), brother David Bournival (Gladys), and sisters Michele Bernhardt & Robin Mitchell, nieces/nephews, and many friends and extended family. He had not yet met the youngest 3 of his 7 grandchildren (Caiden, Dawson, Bella, Greyson, Kamilah, Karmyn, Audrey). He was preceded in death by his father (Norm Sr-the barber) & step-father (Joe Vitulano) and 5,906,580 others infected with Covid-19.

We choose to remember our dad as the man who loved us, loved hunting and fishing, loved riding his Harley, watching movies, convincing us he was Superman as kids, playful nicknames for everyone he knew, and was known for his fighting spirit.

In lieu of donations or flowers, his daughters urge everyone to wear a mask, follow health guidelines, and get vaccinated & boosted to best protect against the loneliness and physical suffering that Covid-19 inflicted on our dad in his final days.
