Sir 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.
