He fought a tough battle with cancer, and passed in his home, with his family by his side. Norman was born July 16, 1934 to Ernest and Naoma Tupling in Yakima, WA. Shortly after, his family moved to Mansfield where he graduated in 1952. After graduation, Norman enlisted in the U.S Army, serving two years and then enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served another four years. While in the Navy, Norman married the love of his life, Marilyn Matthiesen, on December 29, 1957. His first civil job was working for Nichols Orchards in the Methow Valley. In 1964, he went to work for Douglas County Transportation and Land Services, where he was known as "Old Cat Skinner." Norm enjoyed operating the Cat dozer and during the winter months, plowing snow on McNeil Canyon Rd. He retired from the county in April of 1990. After retirement, Norman worked another 15 years plowing snow for the Dept. of Transportation and working for numerous farmers during the summer months. He spent many years as Mayor of Mansfield and serving time on the town council. Norman and Marilyn made their home in the same house both their parents owned at one time. They loved playing cards and hosting large family gatherings. Norm's special sister and brothers would spend late nights playing cards. Norman had a very special friend, Phil Holmes, who he enjoyed playing cards with, taking drives, and usually having a beer with. Phil held a special place in Norman's heart. Norman was the greatest husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend a person ever could have had. He was a family man and touched many lives. Once he touched your life, it was a forever experience. He was greatly loved by many.
