Norm was a hard worker and a jack of all trades and using his many talents from auctioneer to Girl Scout Cookie Dad to enrich the lives of those around him, there was no job too large or too small. He served his country proudly as a PFC in the Army. An avid fisherman and hunter he found enjoyment in the simpler side of life and strived to pass those values on to others. He lived a life of service to his family, his country and his community. Norm was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Knights of Columbus and a member of Corpus Christi Church for over 50 years where he served as an usher and treasurer for many years.
