You came into my life Bernie, just after my parents had passed away and managed to fill that rather large void with your guidance, off-beat humour and friendship.
What started off as a business relationship blew-up into so much more and losing you now hurts as much as it did my own Father.
I will always remember you.

Rest in peace, enjoyed working with you, always great banter. Fly high. Thoughts are with the family at this time.
