Our family circle has been broken,
Another link gone from our chain,
But though we’re parted for a while,
We know we’ll all meet again.

Reunited with Mum / Nan Nan

We love and miss you

Thank you for the years we shared,
The love you gave, the way you cared.
In our hearts you will always stay,
Loved and remembered every day.

Tributes

1. Uncle Bernie, younger brother of my late father Herbert, you are one of the greatest men I had the honour of knowing. I always enjoyed our chats on the phone and will always cherish my last visit to you. A man my father spoke highly of and admired very much. An absolute gentleman.
   Go rest high on that mountain.

11. One of the original 'Annexe' members, Bernie was a great role model and quiet achiever who was respected and loved by many. His calm and logical contributions to discussions were much appreciated, and his warmth and sincerity were obvious. Vale Bernie
