So many of us knew Warwick very well during his time in NYC. We met his Dad, we hung out with him weekly. He was an extraordinary friend -- always steadfast, pulling his weight in group activities, inspirational, and an ever-supportive mentor to others. He was just such a solid and dependable individual whose serious side was coupled with Kiwi lightness of being. His intellectual smarts came alongside hilarious wit and levity. We deeply treasure his memory and mourn his passing.

Warwick: You are a one-of-a-kind pleasure to spend time with. From class to skiing, beach trip, golf, sailing and just hanging around telling jokes, you have been a light every time we spent together. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know what haggis is (one of your better jokes). We were all blessed that you spent time in New York so we could get to know you. I will miss you, my friend.

As I write this I have a tear in my eye, I first met bas when I moved to Ohope in 2002 . He soon become a friend and a trusted shoulder for those talks you have . He loved his golf but tried hard and we had a few laughs up at the club . What I remember about him was his warmth , his funny personality and his loyalty to the people he loved . Rest easy my friend , till we meet again over a cold one !! Love you heaps . Tony pothan

I first met Bus, as we called him a couple of years ago. Bus really made a big impression on me. He was always kind and generous and he never had a bad word to say about anyone. He always saw the best in everyone. I remember when Bus came back to Ohope after having a month long holiday in the South Island. He was telling me about a women named Sally that he met, and he was excited about seeing her again. I didn’t think to much of it at the time. But he kept in contact with her and talking about her more so I knew Sally was someone special. When I finally got to meet Sally, I could see Bus really liked her a lot. When she moved up to Ohope and I spent more time with them both, it was very obvious they had a great connection. Bus would tell Sally all the time that he loved her. Sally was equally in love with Bus as well. It was so nice seeing their love blossom. They had planned a life together, Bus was even very seriously considering having a child with Sally. Bus had planned a big trip to America and was excited to show Sally where he use to live. Then they were going on to the Philippines to meet Sally’s family. But unfortunately Bus’s health took a tragic turn. I will really miss Bus, but I’m so happy that in the last year of his life that he found his soul mate in Sally. Bus had planned the rest of his life and he wanted it to be with Sally. I’m sure Bus would want everyone to celebrate his life and his love he had with Sally. I’d like to express my condolences to Sally and Bus’s family. I’m so very sorry for your loss! All my love to you all. Kylie Kast

Warwick: Your departure coincided with the entire EMBA 95 I group getting reconnected for a 30 year reunion . You will be missed and your memories will be shared on June 14 when we all will get together. Safe journey and will see you soon.
