After his schooling he worked on the family farm. Norman was united in marriage to Joyce Harrison on November 5, 1954 at Faith Lutheran Church in Morris, MN.

Norman drove for Terminal Trucking out of Blaine, MN from 1980 until 1990 and then began driving for Transport America in Eagan, MN until his retirement in 2012.
