My brother, my younger brother, always a character, a man with a mischievous smile. And throughout the long years of illness, uncomplaining and brave, just like the boy I knew, way back then.
We lived our separate lives, travelled our own roads, but you were never forgotten, always loved.
Our deepest condolences to Dianne, Narelle, Brian and all those in the family that we never met.My condolences to the Vizard family, Bernie left an indelible mark on me from my secondary school days with him at Morwell Tech, a wonderful sense of fun, intelligence, and leadership in particular his skills (a family trait) with Aussie Rules. Warm Regards to all his extended family
