Norb was born and raised in Adams, Minnesota and after a term with the Army, his vocational ventures led him to Montgomery where he worked as the district manager with the Hormel plant. He enjoyed his work and was known for always helping others. He played a little golf (enough to muster a hole in one) and was an avid sports fan. He pulled for the Minnesota Vikings and the Minnesota Gophers during football season and favored Auburn football just to have something in common with Alabamians.
