Norb was born August 12, 1930, in St. Cloud, to Norbert Sr. and Mary (Bach) Koshiol. He married Jacqueline Laudenbach in 1951 in St. Augusta, MN. They farmed the family farm in Luxemburg his entire life and raised eight children. He was very proud of his family and enjoyed watching them work together. Norb’s love for entertaining started at a young age. His main squeeze was playing the accordion. It started with performing nightly at the Blue Blazer with the Western Rhythm Boys in the late 1940’s and continued on throughout his life playing with many local musicians. His last gig was this past April for Bologna Days at the Pearl Lake Lodge. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Survivors include his wife, Jackie; children, Dale (Margie), Kevin (Lynn), Jeffrey, Myles (Joyce), Dean (Amy), Bruce (Kathy), Jeanie (Bob) Massmann, Charlie (Melissa); grandchildren, Michelle, Chad, Steven, Katie, Jamie, Ryan, Adam, Kari, Ted, Zach, Kaleb, Jacob, Emily, Corey, Camille, Eric and Isaac; 12 great grandchildren; siblings, Adeline Weyen, Bert Margotto, Mary Lou Zalewski and Tom Koshiol.

Norb is preceded in death by his parents; sister, Christine Kremers; and daughter in-law, Laurie Koshiol.

A special thank you to the Centracare Hospice team for their gentle care and also to Dave and Clyde for their support and friendship over the years.

Memorials are preferred to Quiet Oaks Hospice or St. Wendelin’s School.
