Norbert and Ardie made their home in Columbus, ND where in 1963 they purchased the Golden Rule Store and Locker. They operated this business until purchasing the Jack and Jill Store in 1967. After 21 years in the grocery business they retired in 1984 and started spending time between their winter home in Mesa and their cabin at White Bear Lake where they enjoyed spending time with their family and friends. They moved to Minot in 2013.
After Ardie’s death, Norbert continued to live in Minot until October 2018 when he moved to Crosby. Norbert entered the Navy in 1944 and was commissioned to the USS Darke during WWII. He served in the South Pacific including Iwo Jima until his discharge in 1946.
He was very active in his community. He served as Police Chief, Fire Chief, Councilman and Mayor. For over 50 years he was a member of the American Legion where he served in the color guard. He was a 30-year member of the Burke County Water Board and was involved in the construction of Smishek Lake, Short Creek Dam and Northgate Dam. He also was a member of the Sportsman Club and founding member of Faith Lutheran Church. Norbert enjoyed playing pool and had many championships under his belt. He also enjoyed playing pinochle and cribbage with friends and family. He spent numerous hours constructing and remodeling. At the age of 84 he built his own garage.
