He served in the Army from July 1960 to July 1963. He later joined the Naval Reserve and retired as Master Chief. Norman was a man of many talents. He could build you about anything, get your car running and do some body work on it as well. He worked a variety of jobs while getting his construction company going. He was a jeweler at Crews-Beggs Department Store, a computer operator for CF&I, repossessed cars and a general contractor. In his younger years he raced circle track at Beacon Hill Speedway, flew airplanes, mined for gold, hunted, fished, camped, traveled the world, and golfed. He also fell off countless roofs. Norm never met a stranger. Norm was always there to listen and give advice. He would help whoever needed it and give second chances sometimes more than he should have. He would also challenge you with a witty joke or two.
