Not a big fan of Obituaries but I did want to pass on some news which gave me pause. Bernie Lewis alomg with his wife was killed in a plane crash in NZ. Now Bernies fame had more to do with his business acumen , but I knew him from his ads on tv.

A well known face on Adelaide television, Mr Lewis formed the Adelaide Permanent Building Society in 1971 and then played a major role in its merger with the Hindmarsh Building Society.
In 1987 he set up his own company, Bernie Lewis Home Loans and also served as chairman of Lifeplan funds management group from 1989 until his death.
Big fish in a small market but he was happy being one.
