Lots of love to the Ferns family at this time. Micheal was a blessing to many. Fun, vibrant, encouraging and interested in life. He lived well and will be remembered fondly.

Sending our love to Eileen, Don and Anya, Brian and all of the Ferns family at this sad time. I have many great memories of catching up with Michael over the years, always a thoughtful conversationalist, a wit with a kind sense of humour, and a lover of music, words and writing. Raise a glass and toast to the memory of Mick. Slainte!

Michael had many talents; he was a witty and enterprising man. I enjoyed his many contributions to the Diversions pages of the NZ Listener. I know he was a good musician, who over many years made music and shared it with others. His was a life well lived. A fit companion for the highly gifted Eileen.
