He served as a Clerk Typist in Georgia, California, and North Carolina.

When NORMAN was born on 1 Feb 1932, in Genesee, Genesee, Michigan, his father, JOHN TILLMAN WILSON, III, was 34 and his mother, LILLIE MELINDA SNIDER, was 33. He was the 5th of 6 children, plus 1 oldest brother born to his father's first wife, MARY ELSIE BROWN WILSON EASTMAN STRAWN:

After serving in the U.S. Army, his civilian career was as a salesman. He looked so much like his half-brother, [Delmar Eugene 'Curly' Wilson], who was 16 years older; and like DELMAR, NORMAN suffered a brain aneurysm; but thanks to the tender loving care and speech retraining efforts of his wife, MARY, he enjoyed complete health for a few decades. He died on 3 Jan 2009, in Flushing, Genesee, Michigan, at the age of 76, and was honored with a military burial at Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly, Oakland, Michigan.
