There are simply no words to express all that's in our hearts, Bernie certainly has and will continue to make an incredible difference to so many lives, I know we're most certainly far richer for having known him. Our deepest love and heartfelt wishes from us all xxx

Gone now but not forgotten
Forever in our dreams
Everyday the roads are dry
The straights go on forever
The bends are as you dream
There are no more pains
There are no ore worries
You will be there at every party
You will take part in every race
You will stand there on the podium
You will race with the stars
You will ride upon Gods pillion
And if Angels ride on Harley's
Then you will surely travel far
On Earth you were our friend
And now you are a star

My thoughts are with you Steph and your family he was one of a kind.

We became friends just after we both started work all those years ago. It was so wonderful that we were able to meet up again just a couple of years ago. So sorry it didn't happen sooner. Deepest condolences to your family.

Steph & Family, Bernie was an awesome guy and a great boss. I'm so glad I made the effort to catch up with him and a few of the other ex ANZers when I was down recently. It was great to see him so happy and doing what he loved. It's just tragic that he has been taken too soon. Love & sympathy to you all xx
