Norb was born on July 8, 1936 in Green Bay son of the late James and Julia (Strebel) Basten. He served honorably in the U.S. Navy. Norb retired after many years as a Foreman for Packerland Packing.

Norb also leaves his grandchildren: Torrie, Brad, Kim, Matt (Mariah), Brooklynn, and Breanna, along with 5 great grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. He is preceded in death by his brothers, Leo, Francis, Ronald, and Donald, along with a son-in-law, Gene Pluff.
