Bernie you were one of a kind a true creative who embodied fun, freedom and mischief. You were so kind and welcoming to me when I returned to NZ from overseas. We fought over the cat (at work) you wanted to ban it, I wanted to move it into the office I have a lot of good memories of you, always making us laugh and sharing your powerful message. You will be missed Bernie. Arohanui to Kirsten, Marcella and Joe, your beautiful whanau xx
