Farewell Bruce, I was lucky to have been a part of your family, going as far back into the 70's. Bruce, you will be sadly missed, fond memories of when I stayed in the Allan family home with Paul. You have brought joy and memories to many children and adults during your entertainment career. Rest well in spirit. To the Allan family, a big presence has been taken from you all, my thoughts and love are with you all at this sad time.

So sad to hear of BJs passing. Fabulous neighbour in Clarks Beach. Diana my thoughts are with you. Big hugs from Carol.

Sleep well my magical friend of almost 50 years..we were never far apart at any stage of our long friendship..

Close neighbours for along time. Made good money selling xmas trees while we were young. Great memories. Sorry to hear of your passing. Enjoy the magical adventures up there with the Heavenly Boss

Our former company (Haztec) spent many years checking and certifying BJ's lovely fireworks displays - and his team members - and what displays they were! Definitely among the best around. BJ loved his fireworks craft, but we never doubted that he loved Bringing Joy (BJ!) to countless kids young and old. We are saddened to learn of his passing but also thankful that he knew his destination for eternity. Our love and sympathy to you Diana, and to you Mary, and his wider whanau. Haere, Haere, Haere, old friend. From Mike & Shelley Nankivell

Our heartfelt sympathies to Jean, Diana and the Allen family. Paul, always here for you. Mrs A, we feel your loss XX Willie & Julie, and the Whitehouse Family.

To the family of BJ. My sincere condolences & sympathy on the passing of BJ. I was the Secretary Manager of Papatoetoe RSA where BJ often performed on our Family Nights quite a few years ago. I also hired him for my 60th birthday this year on 23 March. Regrettably I am unable to attend the funeral as I am currently overseas. May he REST IN PEACE & hopefully he will make them all laugh up there too!!! Kind regards, Stephen L. Walker
