​It is with sadness that I have to inform you of the death on Friday 27th November 2020 of ex Sgt 117? Norman ARROWSMITH, 92 years (B.23.9.28) from Covid 19 at Loxley Park Assisted Living Home, Sheffield where he had lived since 2019. Norman was living with Dementia and was very poorly in the last few months and succumbed to Covid in the last few days since being diagnosed. Norman was a widower, his wife Jean passed away last year.  His next of kin is his Brother in Law, Brian Cork.

Norman joined the Derby Borough Police in 1948 after completing his National Service. He served mainly in Derby and Road Traffic and Driving School. He retired in 1983 and moved to Wainfleet near Skegness with Jean.

His funeral will be held at 1.00pm on Thursday 17th December 2020 at the North Chapel,  Grenoside Crematorium, Skew Hill Lane, Sheffield S35 8RZ. Covid restrictions are in place.

Norman took me for my advanced driver course in 1972. Still remember the ruler and sore knuckles. He did a good job though because I got a 1 and we had some really good laughs. I can still remember his pet phrases and so can my daughter as I used them with her when I taught her to drive and also some Institute of Advanced Motorists who I coached. Top man and will be sadly missed..

Working in Training School in the late 70's I was in the next office to Norman in Driving School. We car-shared to work; by the time we arrived I would be aching with laughter. A lovely bloke who truly looked like a Bobby.
