New Zealand's greatest ever DJ and master of the prank call
"Radio Hauraki, where "Blackie" reigned supreme as the country's top radio DJ in the 1960s and 70s, has been playing some of his most-loved prank calls since the 69-year-old died after a suspected heart attack on Monday night, 20 Feb 2013

But his sensitivity and generosity of spirit meant that despite being a pioneer of the prank call, his humour was never cruel, banal or silly. "He analysed radio and understood it ... and was one of the first to figure out that breakfast radio needed to make people laugh," fellow broadcaster John Hawkesby said."
