Bernard was a man with presence in formal settings in particular Magistrates Courts which he Chaired with authority and understanding. Away from that I recall a popular gregarious man, who in years gone by would enjoy a drink with friends in the Black Horse in Monkseaton.

I was fortunate to have Bernard as my mentor when I was first appointed as a Magistrate. His knowledge, kindness and wealth of experience were invaluable and served me well over the years that followed.
