My deepest condolences to Beth and the rest of Bruce's family. Bruce was a valued academic colleague of mine when he was Dean/ Professor at the Auckland Law School. I always appreciated his calm and steady support - and he was likewise a valued and respected Public Law scholar (both in NZ and abroad). He will be missed.

The link below is to some pictures I took at Bruce's Auckland Law School retirement dinner in November 2017. I hope they bring back some happy memories for people:

Sincere sympathy on losing your treasured husband, dad and grandad. I recall Bruce from my days at Otago in the mid 1980´s. He helped me through a difficult time when I was questioning my decision to study law. Bruce was so very compassionate, helpful and encouraging. I am still practicing law and many times over the years I have recalled his encouragement. I recall him as a gentleman with a true heart, humble nature and a devotion to his students.
