Brian COLEMAN Obituary

COLEMAN, Brian. It is with heavy hearts we write of 'Koko's' passing. Carol, his wife of 57 years, daughters Kerin and Emma, grandchildren Maia, Cole and Lane will not only miss his calm, positive and intelligent presence in their lives, but also his humor and kindness. Friends are welcome to pop in, farewell Brian and maybe raise a Guinness as he will be at home until Friday. A celebration of life will be held later.

To Carol and family. I was saddened to hear from a mutual friend, Garth Falloon, of Brian's passing. I have good memories from old DOSLI days of Brians time in Whangarei; his good humour, sharp wit and reasoned thinking. I offer my condolences to you all. Regards John Haselden

So pleased to have met with Carol and Brian recently for a small ex L&S brunch to talk of old times and share a laugh or two. Our deepest condolences go out to Carol, their daughters and grandchildren. Brian was a loving, loyal and lively man and an intrepid traveller. We fondly remember many social occasions with him and his strong opinions. Rest in peace dear friend. From David and Maree Quill.
