After graduating from Penns Grove High School in 1951, Norrie joined the US Navy and would serve from 1951-1955 as a Petty Officer 1 ST Class Boilerman aboard USS Earl B. Hall.

He also enjoyed fishing and going to the shore and staying at the family home which they call “The Shack” where many many wonderful memories were created! Hard working and very dedicated to his family, Norrie got a job offer from Saudi ARAMCO and always thinking of the family and how to provide better, he accepted the offer and after 23 years at DuPont Chamber Works moved the family to Saudi Arabia for 11 years.
