Norman Bruce Ormsby (1934-1986) was seven years junior to his brother, nine years junior to his sister. He was therefore almost like an only child. In addition, his father died when Norman was just six years old, and his mother was forced to seek outside employment in order to keep the family fed. Norman was what could be called a "latch key kid" in that he came home from school to an empty house, and had no one to talk to at home until his mother, brother and sister came home from their verious jobs and school.
Norman was a very talented musician, began taking piano lessons when he was five years old. He played the piano, pipe organ, marimba and other related instruments. He gave a recital when he was about ten years old, and did very well. He worked as an organist for at least one church when he was in his teen years. He did not pursue music in a career sense however, rather he elected to work in the world of computers when they were very young.
Norman was 18 in 1952, and was called into the military to serve in Korea. He did not like his military stint, and left as soon as he could.
He worked for the San Francisco Police Department in a clerical job of some sort, using computers, after he completed his training which he attended following his military duty.
In 1986, Norman developed an inguinal hernia, which seems to be an inherited trait for the men in this family, and he went to a hospital to have it surgically reduced. The night before the surgery, he got out of bed for some reason, and fell onto the very hard floor, striking his head in the process. He died very soon after that, as a result of the injury to his head sustained in the fall.
Norman never married, lived alone after he left the military, and was interested in only a few things. He enjoyed working with computers, liked listening to short wave radio broadcasts, and had a huge collection of classical records which he liked to listen to at concert level.[phelps.FTW]
