He retired as Lieutenant, Chaplain, and as a supervisor.
Norman was Senior pastor for 23 years at Mercy Seat ministries Inc. in Ashville, Alabama. His heart throb was to see people come to know the Lord. He was truly a man after God’s own heart, & faithful to his calling. He walked in strength and integrity; he brought laughter and joy into so many people's lives. He had an ability to bring peace & comfort to hurting people, leaving them with hope. He was a strong tower and always a shoulder to lean on for family and friends, and he never met a stranger.
