Norman attended Sacred Heart Academy in Central Falls for high school and earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Bryant University.

A dedicated professional, Norman was an accountant for Bingham, Dana & Gould of Boston and later for the National Shrine of Our Lady of LaSalette in Attleboro from where he retired in 2003. Being bored of retirement, coupled with his love to drive, he began working as a part time driver for Rodman Ford in Foxboro and later Apollo Motors in Cumberland, RI from where he permanently retired in 2020. Norm loved to make people laugh, and was known for his dry sense of humor. He and his wife enjoyed traveling in the United States. Upon his retirement, they traveled throughout the U.S. for three months, which was a highlight of his retirement. He enjoyed walking daily with his good friend, Dick Corriveau. He also enjoyed taking care of his lawn and plants, and took pride in keeping his property looking great.
