He worked in forestry and mining and after moving to Kimberly, British Columbia he continued to mine. He returned to Niagara Falls for his sister's wedding, and decided to stay in the Niagara area where he found work on the Canadian Power Project in Niagara Falls, Ontario. In 1954 on a blind date in Hamilton, Ontario, he met his future wife Mildred Kingsley. They married in 1954 then moved to the United States. After moving to the U.S he started working at Ford Motor Company in Woodlawn, NY. He retired in 1971 from Ford. He was a very generous and gratefulman; he gave money to his church, and to the less fortunate. He was always ready to help when he heard there was a need. He had a great sense of humor; he gave everyone a nick name, which only he could use. His motto was, "Never give up, Never ever give up." With his children by his bedside Norman entered into eternal rest. He fought to the very end.
