He worked for Leverenz Shoe Company where he met his future wife, Frances and tended bar part-time at the Playdium Bowling Alley. Norman was hired as a deputy sheriff with the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s department where he was employed for 24 years before his retirement in 1983. He was promoted on the department to the ranks of sergeant on the Alcohol Safety Action Program (ASAP), was a patrol sergeant and became a lieutenant of patrol where he served until his retirement. When originally hired, Norman also worked part-time for a private garbage collection company. He attended numerous law enforcement and management training programs including some at Northwestern University Traffic Institute.

He managed his sons, Glenn and James when they played softball on the same team. In addition, he enjoyed hunting and fishing with his sons, daughter Donna, other family members and numerous beagle hunting dogs.
