Dearest Molloy's, What a beautiful ceremony to such an extremely wonderful Father. Bernard was at times, like a second father to me during my teenage years, I always remember him fondly and find comfort in knowing how was lucky he was to have such loving family and full and interesting life. He was an inspiration.

You were our light and one of our safe places. We will forever miss you grandad. Gone too soon :’( Thank you for being one of the best grandads in the world 😘 We love you always ❤️

I knew I would miss my friends when I moved to New Zealand from the UK as a twenty-two year old, but I knew there would be opportunities to make new friends with people my age. What I didn’t know, was that I would miss my older friends, my parents friends, and my grandparents friends. I met Bernard through my wife, and he become an older friend. I haven’t reflected on this relationship until now, I didn’t think I would have to for quite some time. He was always full of cheer and reminded me of the old boys in the local back home. There was something familiar and warm about that, and as my wife put it, “Bernard is just like you; drinking, smoking and surfing.” Bernard became friends with my younger cousin too, who is an antique dealer in the UK. Bernard reminded my cousin and I of a character from a Guy Ritchie film. My cousin would like me to pass on his condolences. Bernard was a good listener, perhaps because he couldn’t get a word in edgeways around the ladies in his life. I’ll miss sitting, listening and having a drink with you my friend.

Thankyou Bernard for the long chats we had in Molleys Antiques. For the advice and the gifts you gave from time to time. I will miss my visits. With caring thoughts, Reg Hole.

Such a pleasure to have you in our lives Bernard. Your absence will be felt greatly, and you will be dearly missed. especially for mum, aka Nana Noel. Rest now Mr. Xx

RIP Bernard.

Rest in peace Bernard. Fly high over all the antique shops keeping an eye on things.

A great friend to Maggie and I. You and your sense of humor will be sorely missed mon amie! Love and condolences to Noeline and the Molloy family.

Rest in love Bernie, grateful for the lovely memories over the years. Cheers always to you 🥂 ❤️ xo

Forever loved x
