Very sorry to hear of Bernie's passing. He is well remembered in the ex-RAAF community in Australia. My parents were friends for many years with Bernie and Elizabeth. I will post a letter to Te Awamutu Funerals for passing to Elizabeth.

It was an absolute privilege to have shared in Bernard and Elizabeth´s friendship over many years - a connection that blossomed through planning their wonderful overseas adventures. Bernard (Bernie) was a true gentleman, full of warmth, curiosity, and a delightful touch of cheekiness that never failed to bring a smile to my face. His love of travel, opera, his sharp wit, and his deep affection for Elizabeth were just some of the qualities that made him so special. He will be fondly remembered and dearly missed.
