Norman Hans Hagen was born on October 29, 1943, in Aberdeen, SD to Hans and Susan (Snover) Hagen. He attended Sunnyview Elementary, Simmons Middle School and Warner High School.

After high school, Norman joined the National Guard of South Dakota, serving for 5 ½ years.  After leaving the national guard, he returned to work on the family farm.

Norman married Geneva Marie Raymond on March 10, 1967. Together they had five children; Bobbie Jo, Randy, Scott, Jamie, and Karen.  They continued to farm the family land and raise livestock. Over the years, Norman built a career in trucking and for a time, owned his own trucking company.

Norman had a love for traveling, whether it was his semi or the RV, you could always find him on the open road. He knew how to get anywhere you asked. Norm always had a story to tell and never gave a serious answer. He enjoyed spending time with his family and furry companion, “Little Lee”.
