Norman “Bill” Eugene Tincher, the son of William W. and Lena L. (Davids) Tincher, was born on July 17, 1942, in Clarion, Iowa. He was raised and educated in Renwick, graduating from Boone Valley in 1961.
On June 11, 1966, Norman was united in marriage with Sylvia Williams at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. The couple made their home in Eagle Grove and raised four children: Laura, Miriam, Robert and Randy.
Norman worked for Eagle Mills, Inc./ Promeco Inc. and Eagle Sanitation / The Trash Man.
Norman was a huge fan of Elvis and after seeing him perform in 1976, spent years collecting memorabilia- leaving an entire room dedicated to him! He enjoyed tinkering in the yard/garden, watching TV (especially series like Dallas and Westerns) and time with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Norman was very proud of the garage he built in 2002, his 1984 Red Chevy Silverado and all of the family vacation memories. Many people may remember driving by the house and if Norm was out shoveling – he would act like he was playing the guitar with his shovel!!
