The Mike Hosking BreakfastSir Michael Hill's being remembered for his love of the arts.
He died yesterday aged 86, after a cancer battle.
Hill's chain of self-named jewellery stores began in Whangārei, before becoming a global brand.
Former Queenstown Mayor Jim Boult says he's well-known for his Queenstown golf course 'the Hills', and the international violin competition he founded.
He was also a cartoonist, publishing a weekly cartoon in the local newspaper, 'The Mountain Scene'.
Boult told Mike Hosking Hill was one of those people who was never satisfied until they’d actually achieved something.
