Norman John Frelow Jr. was born on June 28, 1945 to Norman Frelow Sr. and Vera Mae Bush-Frelow in Port Arthur, Texas.

Norman was baptized at Sacred Heart Catholic Church and remained a faithful member until leaving Port Arthur to enlist in the United States Air Force.

He served in the United States Air Force as a military police officer until 1968.

He later married Winifred “Winnie” Columbus. To the union of Norman and Winnie was born Norman’s only child, Tracey.

Following his honorable discharge from the United States Air Force, Norman relocated to Houston, Texas and enrolled in Academy #42 of the Houston Police Department on October 6, 1969. Norman served in various areas of the Houston Police Department until his honorable retirement on February 7, 1990.

Shortly thereafter, he began working for the U.S. Marshall’s Service in Beaumont, Texas where he worked at the Beaumont Federal Courthouse for several years.
