Colin BROWN Obituary

BROWN,
Reverend Colin Greville:
Passed away peacefully in his sleep early July 26, 2021, aged 94 years. A life very well-lived with his wife and companion of 65 years, Anne – she will miss him greatly. An exceptional father and father-in-law to Rosemary and Bruce (Nelson), Stephen and Glenda (Christchurch) and Michael and Tania (Nelson). An always interested Grandad to Olivia, Jed, Grace, Lucy and Felix, and a very happy Great-Grandad to Jack, August, and Poppy.
'Death came with friendly care; The opening bud
to heaven conveyed,
And bade it blossom there'
(Samuel Taylor Coleridge)Thank you to the incredible staff at the Ashley Suites, Russley Village, who made his final months comfortable.
