As a CPA, he became a partner at a very early age at Williford, Windham & Stone in Atlanta where he practiced until he retired in 2006.
Norman was married to his best friend, Peggy, for 57 years. His life revolved around his family. Many happy days were spent in Atlanta and at Lake Hartwell. He was also a nightly fixture seen jogging in the neighborhood. His warm, kind and generous nature was admired by all who knew him; however, he was also noted for his dry, quick wit. In fact, his witty poems for special occasions were always cherished.
