Very fond memories of Daph and Col. Sad news. 🥰
RIP Pa, you were definitely one of a kind and made the bestest anzac bickies. My condolences to your family. You will be missed.
Rip Col and sympathy to the family
My condolences to all the families of Col. May he rest in peace
Please accept my sympathy extended to all of the Coomber family. Col must have been so proud to have had such a large family with all those grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I pay my respects to Coll who I knew through Rugby League refereeing. Col gave me some great opportunities when I was just a young referee. He had good commitment to community service as I can remember Col involved in Junior Rugby League as an administrator. Rest in Peace, Col.
