Jones and Ella (Graber) Hubbell. He Married Janice Dunn on May 14, 1982, and she survives in Columbus, Indiana.
Norm was a graduate of Perrysburg High School and went on to obtain his engineering degree from the University of Toledo. He served his country proudly in The United States Air Force. Norm worked as a mechanical engineer for Champion and Cummins before retiring in 2005.
Norm was a quiet and gentle soul. He was incredibly humble, always dependable and could always be counted on to lend a helping hand. Following retirement, he and Jan enjoyed spending time traveling together all around the United States. They spent time camping, hiking and antiquing. In his spare time, Norm enjoyed working on cars and taking on remodeling projects for family and friends.
