Norman Clarence Wenck was born on May 9, 1940 to Clarence and Edna in Carroll, Iowa. He studied Civil Engineering at Iowa State University, where he achieved both his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees. This is also where he met and married the love of his life Mollie (Feit).

After graduation, Norm was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in the United States Navy. He served in Maryland, Thailand and Minnesota. After his Naval service, he worked as a professional engineer and eventually founded his own company Wenck Associates, Inc. in 1985.

Norm loved Jesus. He and Mollie were long time members of Vision of Glory Church and built many lifelong friendships while there. He also enjoyed Bible Study Fellowship for decades.

He married Mollie in December of 1962 and spent nearly 60 years with her in a loving marriage. They loved to spend time together traveling and enjoyed boating on Lake Sarah, relaxing on the North Shore of Lake Superior and wintertime visits to Colorado, Hawaii and Florida. They were blessed with a large family including 4 children, 13 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. Norm loved spending time with his grandchildren and traveled the globe on adventures with many of them.

Norm lived with generosity. He was a faithful giver to his church and supported many charities and organizations. He was also generous with his time as a mentor, business coach, and friend to so many. He especially loved his Boundary Waters canoe trips with his small band of adventurers.

He also served with Engineering Ministries International, traveling to Afghanistan in 2002 and North Korea in 2008.
