He attended Queen Elizabeth High School and then went on to work with the Canadian Pacific

of the Open Door” with Pastor Vernon McGee. He accepted Jesus and became a faithful

follower of Christ.

In 1954, Norman began dating Yvonne who would soon become his bride and were married on

their new life in Redwood City, CA. They would later relocate to Sunnyvale, CA and Norman

In 1994, they retired to beautiful Auburn, CA where they built their dream home and lived out

their golden years.
