Norman lived in Janesville at the time of the Trønderlag centennial. He and Marlene had 6 children.

According to his wife’s obit, he served in the Korean conflict for two years and in Viet Nam for two years. At the time of the death of his wife’s maternal grandmother (April, 1968), he was Major Norman Toso. He had returned from his second tour of duty in Vietnam and was to be home in St. Louis for six months.

His obit in the FFDJ:

Lt. Col. Norman Conrad Toso, 87, devoted father, husband, and veteran died peacefully at home on Dec. 5, 2016. He was born on Jan. 11, 1929 in Elizabeth, one of nine children, son of Konrad and Elizabeth Toso.

He is survived by two brothers, Eugene and Richard and one sister, Lorraine.

He is also survived by his wife, Linda Wells, and four step-children, Laura, Julie, David (Melissa), and Jason (Erin). His first wife, Phyllis Marlene Pederson, died in 2004. His is survived by six children from that family: Lisa (Flynt), Margaret (Tom), Erec (Megan), Sarah (Alan), Konrad (Debra), and Andrew (Courtney).

There are also many beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

More than anything, Norman, aka “The Bear,” loved his families to distraction.

He was a fighter, a football athlete, a Golden Gloves boxer, and a veteran of the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam War. He was a man of heart.

He was also self-deprecating, telling one son after a canoe race with a broken paddle, “I am just too damned dumb to quit.”

He earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Alaska and had two careers, the first with the Army, the second with the American Automobile Association.

He served his community by sitting on the Stoughton City Council and the Stoughton School Board. He was an active member of Covenant Lutheran Church in Stoughton, Wisconsin, and worked with Lutherdale Ministries. The Bear was a mountain of a man and will be missed and grieved by many.

Interment will be at Greenwood Cemetery in Monroe, Wisconsin, with full military rites.
