Martin BERGIN Obituary

What a shock it was when I heard that Marty had died!
Whenever I had met up with him at extended family gatherings I found him to be really friendly, cheerful, fun to be around and was great company. He had a wonderful smile and made those around him feel at ease and relaxed.
My condolences to Marty's siblings, extended family and to Trevor.

My sincere condolences to the Easton and Bergin families.

I met Marty nearly 20 years ago when I returned to NZ - and to agency life in Auckland.

Many, many fun lunches, trips and gossip sessions followed. Great memories of a very funny chap.

I appreciated Marty's zest for life.

With much love

Sending my love and deepest condolences to you Trevor and to Marty's family and your family and to Anne and Jonathan too.
I only met Marty and you several years ago but your shared love of life and your energy were infectious. I witnessed Marty 'light up the room' on several occasions and it was a privilege to laugh along with him.
I am sorry I was not able to be at Marty's funeral yesterday.
with my love and thoughts, Peter

So special to witness the love and life celebration of Marty today. The Tui bathing in full view for most of the service was a joy to behold and gave me, and I hope many who were there, some joy. My love to Trevor and Marty´s wonderful family and friends.

Trevor my darling, sending big love from Brooklyn, with you in spirit today as you celebrate the awesome, handsome, generous, oh so funny, talented Marty.

As Karen said, it was always "TrevorandMarty", "MartyandTrevor", always united never separate. Marty was the most effervescent, the wittiest, the sunniest person. People just gravitated to him because he made them feel good. He put everyone at ease and brought them into his warmth. Working with Marty was a joyous experience. It was like having a playmate, every day was so much fun - I genuinely loved going to work just to be with him. Even now, I still come out with Martyisms to my family. They are a part of my life - I can hear his voice in my head every time I say them. I´m so thankful for the time I had with him. Trevor, I am so truly sorry for your loss. My heart is with you. Xxxx

Colin & Michael are totally shocked to hear of Marty's passing,we won't be able to be there on Thursday as we are away but our thoughts will be with you.

Dear Trevor I am still in such shock about hearing of Marty´s passing and your loss. Marty was such a vivid personality, he was like sunshine and just being around him made everyone feel a little bit brighter. I will always remember his laugh, his kindness, his ability to find exactly the right comment to make a moment better. And I shall always think of you both together - `TrevorAndMarty´ or `MartyAndTrevor´ - as a couple that even death cannot divide. I am deeply sorry I cannot be at the funeral on Thursday but I have donated so that trees may be planted in his memory. I hope to catch up when you are ready Trevor so that we can reminisce about Marty together. Much love, as always, Karen xxxx

My thoughts are with you Trevor, and the Bergin Family, in this sad time.
I will remember Marty for many things, especially his wonderful sense of humour.
May he rest in peace.

To Trevor Easton and the Bergin family. Hearing of your loss is truly heartbreaking.
RIP Marty. It was an honour working alongside you and sharing life´s ever fleeting moments.
Remembered with fondness and tears of laughter
