Norman was born April 14, 1925 in Rapid City, South Dakota, the youngest of three children. He enlisted in the Naval Reserve when he was 17 and received an honorable discharge on April 16, 1946.
He married Carolyn Naiman on August 29th, 1954 at Zion Lutheran Church in Rapid City. They were married for 49 years until Carolyn passed away on June 13, 2003. Norman and Carolyn moved to Denver in 1960 where they lived for thirty years and Norman worked as a sheet metal foreman.
They moved back to Rapid City in 1990 to help take care of Carolyn's parents. In 2009, Norman moved to Oregon to live with his daughter Rebecca and her husband Jim.
His son Scott and daughter Vicki both live in Colorado. Norman has four grandchildren and five great grandchildren, two living in Oregon and the others in Colorado.
His favorite things to do were sing, bowl, garden, and spend time with his family. He is a kind soul that will be missed by many. Norman worked hard to send his children to Christian Schools and felt very strongly about the importance of Christian Education.
