It is so sad to say goodbye to such a remarkable man.
Barry and I feel so fortunate to have spent so many wonderful visits with Margery and Brian. We fell in love with New Zealand on our first Elderhostel trip and returned eight more times. We were always made to feel so welcome by Brian, Margery and their family and friends.
Brian was a true gentleman and a man of great principle. He quietly committed himself to providing the best for his family, friends, community and country.
He will be remembered as a man we should all strive to emulate.
We will always treasure our memories of this special man, Brian Cobbe.
Love Robin and Barry
