Kerry and I were most saddened to hear of the passing of Chris. It was also a shock late 2018 when Helen went, and now a chapter closes for the Cole family, especially after Chris lost his brother only a few years ago. Apart from a kindred involvement in Kiwanis Clubs either side of the Tasman, we shared other interests including a love of fine wine, plus Chris and I went to the same high school, just a year or so apart. Back with Helen once again, rest peacefully Chris. Warm thoughts from David and Kerry in Adelaide, South Australia.

Barbara & myself are really sorry to hear of Chris's passing. We met Chris through Kiwanis and had many enjoyable times with Chris & Helen at numerous Kiwanis Conventions in New Zealand and around the world. We will miss you Chris.
Kind Regards Barbara Kelly & Bob Jamieson

So saddened to read of Chris passing. Having worked with Helen for many years I knew Chris through her.
Unable to attend funeral as in Australia. Look after yourselves during this sad time.
Kindest regards
Faye
