After retiring from the Army Special Forces, he returned to his home town of Hammond, later moving to Warrenton. He often told stories about growing up in the area and the changes he had seen.
Norman loved to do charity work and raising money for various charities was his forte, he excelled at that. He headed the American Red Cross Blood Drive for the American Legion for over ten years and loved every bit of it.
He had spent countless hours and money trying to get the Prisoners of War (POW's) brought home from all wars, and the bodies of those killed in action (KIA's) returned to their families and he worked at that for over fifteen years, putting out a monthly newsletter that was sent at his own expense, around the world.
He was a selfless man who cared much more about others than himself. He was honest, forthright, compassionate and kind, a gentle man.
He loved his home, yard and garden and spent much of his time their, often on his knees in the strawberry patch.
