William NORRIS Obituary

I reckon Bill and Dad ( Tom Hagen) will already be making mischief together in heaven. It´s really hard losing a much loved parent so hope it brings you some consolation thinking of him having fun. Deepest sympathy Ainsley Luscombe ( and family)

Sending our condolences to the Norris families, I as a young girl had the privilege of getting my hair cut by Bill,yes straight fringe & straight across the bottom of my long hair, it was a no brainer to my dad ,Dick Taplin to take his daughter with her brothers to get everyone's hair cut together , so do remember sitting on the wooden board , RIP, Bill you will be remembered by so many , from Donna & shayne Hunt

Dear Jenny and Pete, so sorry to hear that your Dad has died. Sending you our sincere condolences and best wishes. Thinking of you at this sad time. Love from Chris and Dorothy

Peter and Jenny I am very sorry to hear your Dad has died. His ability to get along with others and bring people together will be missed

Our sincere condolences to the Norris Family on Bill's passing,
a respected and jolly neighbour at Brydon Court Village.

I offer my deepest condolences to Jenny, Pete, and their families,
When I first arrived at Annie Brydons, Bill welcomed me warmly. We reminisced about being in the same bowling team and winning a Taranaki title. We shared memories of various people and events. Now, there is an empty seat at the table, and the conversation feels incomplete without his contributions. Bill will be greatly missed by many.

My deepest condolences and arohanui to you Jenny and Peter, and Viv at this sad time. The loss of a loved one is one of life's challenges, but it is blessed with the Memories to treasure in the days to come.
Kia kaha, kia maia, kia manawanui. Arohanui.

Bill cut hair for generations of the same family. When I had hair, going to see Bill was always an enjoyable adventure. When he took the wooden board away and you sat in the seat proper, you proclaimed to yourself you are now a man! Condolences to family, he was quite the local legend.

Peter very sad to see that Bill has passed condolences to you and your family Barry and Lucy

Condolences to the Norris Family. Remember Bill Norris The Barber High St Hawera, for years then Paul Watson took it over from Hawera.Kind Regards Shane and Cindy Schuler.

Peter and Jenny, Very sorry to hear of your dads passing. I will miss the catch ups we had at Annie Brydon.

sad to learn of Bill's passing last Tuesday. My personal barber - seems it is forever that he attended to my brown, then grey, then silver, then the few odd locks I now have. The yarns- the stories. Rest in peace Bill Norris- you sure have earned it.

Bill was a great family friend and a great mate of our dad (the late) Roy Hart. They spent many years pig hunting, fishing and whitebaiting around the Taranaki hills and coast. I am thankful for my recent visits to see Bill while he was in care in Hawera and share a few stories of our passion for hunting pigs & deer. RIP Bill....you and Dad will enjoy catching up again. My condolences to Jenny, Pete and Whanau.

RIP Bill Norris.

To Bill´s family. My sincere condolences to you all. I have known Bill since I was 10 years old, coming out to the Tangahoe Valley with Ron Stone and Ian MacDonald, in the early hours of the morning, to go pig shooting. A lovely kind man with a great sense of humour. You will be missed.
Dianne Hopkins (Charteris)

Bill, I will always cherish the so many great memories that I have and shared with you, hunting, fishing, boxing, teacher, coach, mentor and friend. Such a humble man with a huge sense of pride. And sharp as a tack with your humour. You were a great role model.

Now I look back at the time we spent together in the barbershop, I really appreciated your guidance and direction you were a strong man who knew what you wanted, I am honored and have been blessed that you shared your craft with me.

Hey Jenny and Peter
Sorry to read of your Dads passing.
Thinking of you and take care.
Janet (Hornby) Moselen

Bill you were a great fisherman. Those great days we had off the Patea coast will never be forgotten. Your ability to read clouds for the wind to stay safe out at sea was second to none The fillet fish you did was always appreciated.
My sympathy to the family.
May you rest in peace
