It is with heavy hearts that the Rotary Club of Brantford-Sunrise announced the passing of member and Past President John Coles, who was president of the club in 2005-2006.
John was an avid curler and a member of the Brantford Sunrise’s international curling team that traveled to bonspiels across Canada, the United States, and the U.K. He was also a member and Past President of the Rotary International Curling Fellowship and instrumental in bringing the World Rotary Curling Championship to Brantford in 2008, where the Brantford Sunrise club successfully hosted 20 curling teams from Canada, U.S., and U.K. over the course of a weekend.
John and his wife, Jill, loved to travel, and they were able to explore numerous parts of the world prior to the numerous health issues that he valiantly fought over the last few years. We will miss the stories he created and the stories he told.
