Norman “Stormin’ Norman” McIntosh born on May 14, 1956, the son of Howard and Judith (Blegen) McIntosh, in Decorah, IA. Norman attended Decorah area schools until he graduated high school in 1974. Following high school, Norman received his Associates Degree from NICC in bookkeeping and accounting. Norman worked his whole career in automotive. His first job following school was at Klimesh Motors in Calmar. He then worked at the Ford dealership in Decorah. He has since worked at auto part stores and was currently working at CarQuest in Decorah. Norman spent most of his weekends at the local races. His cheering or what most would consider, “yelling” on Saturday nights would often lead to a very quiet, soft spoken Norm on Sunday. He took much pride in having his own race team and enjoyed supporting other drivers also. His true companion was “Kitty” his cat. She wandered into his life as a stray and the two of them became best buds. Norman is survived by his father, Howard McIntosh of Decorah, IA. Sisters: Vicky Borseth (friend Dave Ohlert), Decorah, IA and Debra Hagensick, Decorah, IA. Brother: John McIntosh, Decorah, IA. Many nieces and nephews and aunts and uncles. He was preceded in death by his mother, Judith (Mrs. Howard) McIntosh in 2014. Paternal grandparents: Chester and Grace McIntosh. Maternal grandparents: Arthur and Vi Blegen. Uncle: Duane McIntosh.
