History:
Norman was born on August 5, 1929 in Ariel, Colorado To Albert & Lois Vincent. He married Joyce Little on August 30, 1953 in St. Francis, Kansas.

Norman was a dairy feed sales representative for many cattle feed companies. In his earlier years he was employed by Purina Mills & Cargill Nutrena and his later years were spent with Muenster Milling Co., Tony’s Feed & Seed, and Martindale Feed Mill.

Norman was always known to carry his black book of recording and logging to every visit he had with his customers. All of his customers were very important to him. He took great pride in helping them with their dairy cattle, making sure they all produced a healthy milk product.

His trademark was always leaving a, “I’m sorry I missed you today” business card when no one was at the dairy.

No matter the situation, he had a quick wit, was a brilliant thinker, planner and organizer. He was a great father, grandfather, husband, mentor, and family man. And yes, he always had a great story to tell you.
