Norman graduated from West Jefferson High School and served his country in the Louisiana Air National Guard for 6 years. He later retired from Chevron Chemical / Oronite after 41 years of service where he made the dearest, lifelong friends.

He had his pilot’s license and loved to fly small prop planes. He was the most loving husband and father, always had a smile on his face, big hugs to give and kind words to say. He was very proud of his family and held them close. While his passing is sorrowful, his life and legacy will be celebrated.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff of West Jefferson Medical Center and Dr. Alejandra del Toro for giving us the gift of time.

Due to current restrictions, a private Mass will be Celebrated at St. Martha Catholic Church in Harvey.
