Peter Coles
It is with great sadness that we report the death of Peter Coles. An honorary member of Leeds AV Group, Peter will be greatly missed by all whose lives he enriched. Peter had been ill for some time and passed away in Halifax Hospital following a massive heart attack. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this sad time. His legacy of AV's will continue to bring enjoyment and admiration. We will remember him.
Peter was buried at St. James Church Hebden Bridge just outside the door near a seat where he used to sit (and think)! Link to Howard Bagshaw's Memorial sequence
