Baden NORRIS Obituary

Thank you for keeping the nautical history of Lyttelton and the wider seafaring industry alive with the Museum. Safe sailing across the bar. The Warden on behalf of the Christchurch Branch of the New Zealand Company of Master Mariners,

A great but modest man who was a privilege to know. His contributions to Lyttelton, New Zealand and the world more generally will live on.

Our condolences to your family.
You always had a great story to tell and were a wealth of knowledge on the harbour and its history.
Many of us look back on the days working with you fondly.

Baden,
The Stanley family will always remember our holidays together - Chatham Islands, Rarotonga and many many on Stewart Island.
Lots of laughs & adventures. RIP our dear friend x

Baden,
You were a shipmate / wharfie & a good friend of my Father Leo. I remember you well and as a Teenager seeing your place in Sumner with the birds you were looking after. The Lyttelton Museum will always be attributed to you. Condolences to your family on your passing. RIP . Lindsay & Leone (Mott) Butterfield

Baden you are an exceptional human being. Your knowledge and compassion touched the hearts and souls of so many. Forever grateful to have crossed your path, working alongside you at Canterbury Museum and living briefly in your Lyttelton Museum caretakers flat. I will always cherish the history of my first house. Lovely to know it was built by your uncle on your previous family land, right above the location of your birth house. When you said "he was a boat builder so it's got to be good", didn't expect two years of earthquakes to prove you right. My favorite memory - sitting on the deck with you and my parents hearing all about the Norrises up and down St Davids St just below. Go well Baden. Thinking of Kerry McCarthy, Roy Montgomery, Jack, Maeve, Otto and the rest of your family. xo

An amazing man well admired and hugely respected by all proud member of the Lyttelton Branch of Waterfont Workers and great workmate

My love and sympathy in the loss of an elder brother father and grandparent. His like will never be seen again and his knowledge and inspiration will live on in the many he inspired to follow in his footsteps. Bade you were always a gentleman may you now rest in peace. Much love Kathy Bessant nee Baines. Xx
