Norman was a faithful member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He held many positions in the Church. He served faithfully and with great sacrifice in the Western Canadian Mission. Having accepted this call, he left behind his sweetheart to care for his two oldest children. This was a challenge, but he felt very blessed because of it. One of his most beloved callings was when he was an ordinance worker in the Ogden Temple. This calling came to him at a time in his life when it was most precious and appreciated. This position he held for 3 years. In his earlier years he was a Seventy in the
"
Logan Stake. During this time he fulfilled 3 stake missions and was a counselor in the Singles Branch at
USU.
After serving in the mission field Norman owned and operated a successful mink ranch. Later he worked 15 years for Ellis Equipment Company in Logan. He retired after 17 years from Thiokol Chemical Company as a sub-contract administrator in procurement. After his retirement he took correspondence classes and became certified in clock repair and restoration. Through this he acquired many close friendships.
Norman was an avid reader. He was very proud of his library and he truly read almost every one of his books passionately. Norman loved good music.
Norman and Cleta lived in Logan, No. Ogden, Smithfield and then moved to their dream home in Garden City, Utah.
