Norman was a graduate of South Harrison High School and then served his country honorably in the United States Army Reserves, and was very proud of his service to his country. He worked many years at Continental Can and then Brockway Glass. He later worked as a certified nursing assistant at several locations including Clarksburg Nursing and Rehab, Wishing Well and Grafton City Hospital.

He also liked watching his tv shows like Lets Make a Deal, and watching sports, especially Pitt and WVU. Norman never met a stranger and had a big heart that always cared for others. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
