He was born in St. Albans on September 7, 1952 the son of the late Clifton & Dorothy (Corliss) Preston.

Norman lived in Franklin County his whole life. He graduated from BFA St. Albans in 1971 and joined the Military shortly after. He considered it an honor to serve his country for over 20 years thus allowing him to meet several people who he held near and dear to his life. He enjoyed fishing, four-wheeling, snowmobiling & tinkering which in turn earned him the nickname “Kink”. Norman could always be found socializing on Main Street in Enosburg in front to the diner.
