Always loved catching up with you everytime we were in New Plymouth, Butlers Reef will never be the same - when we headed out there with Mum and you would always order the cooked breakfast no matter what time it was. Bernard - I really enjoyed having a yarn and a belly laugh about your horses, friends, cars and everything else that that was of importance at the time. RIP now with Raewyn.

Good times at Oakura River mouth with Doug Harvey Brian Wickham
