Norman S. Strandwitz
Appleton

Age 88, died on Saturday, March 3, 2001 at St. Paul Home. Norman was born on April 25, 1912, son of the late William and Dorothy (Trotman) Strandwitz. During WW II, he owned and operated a sheet metal construction business in Camden, New Jersey; supplying local shipyards along the Delaware River with prefab deckhouses, ventilation systems and steel bulkheads. Following the war, Norman sold the business. He then developed an infant oxygen tent for hospital cribs, which was sold to a nationwide oxygen producing company; National Cylinder Gas, of Chicago. This led to his employment at NCG to aid in the establishment of their Medical Division. He then became a sales manager, expanding his role to include NCG’s industrial items. In 1963, he moved from Chicago to Appleton, to join Miller Electric as VP of Marketing. Following retirement in 1978, he moved to Newport Beach, CA for 14 years, returning to Appleton in 1991.
