Tributes for 'The Man in the Doorway'

BY IAN CROUCH and JESSICA ROUSE

Floral tributes have been left outside a unit on Maitland Road at Mayfield for a man known to locals as 'The Man in the Doorway'.

There's been an outpouring of emotion for Bernie Sessions who passed away last week after a long battle with mental illness.

The 45-year-old would spend most days sitting on a blue milk crate outside his unit cheerfully waving to passers-by.
