Norman was born December 22, 1935 in New Brighton, son of the late Rudolph H. and Catherine M. (Hoey) Rombold. He proudly served his country with the U.S. Army from January 28, 1955 to December 20, 1957.
After his honorable discharge, he returned home to work on the family farm. In the early years he raised dairy cows and later beef cattle and hogs. He also grew all of the grain to feed the livestock. Bud was a hard-working man, who, in addition to farming, was a heavy equipment operator for a paving company.
On rare occasions Bud did a little fishing, but most important to him was his family. He and his loving wife Lena were partners in life for 63 years nurturing their family and tending to the farm. They also thoroughly enjoyed Square Dancing at venues in Freedom, Unity and Hookstown.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son: David Lynn Rombold and great granddaughter: Mea Grace Dinello; three brothers: Ray, John and Rudy Rombold; four sisters: Catherine Teets, Betty Ketterer, his twin Norma Jean Rombold and Anna May Gallagher.
