Keith COLLIER Obituary

Please accept my condolences. I used to work with Cam in London at Arbuthnot Latham merchant bank in the late 1970's. He was a lovely man and always very popular. I have always remembered him and often wondered what happened to him after he returned with Sarah to Wanganui. If I remember correctly you and Cam had a flat in Teddington (?) before you went back to his home town of wanganui to start your new life together.
The reason I googled Cams name and found this message was because I was watching a Thomas Hardy adaptation on TV tonight and I remembered how Cam was always reading a Thomas Hardy novel! I just googled his name and unfortunately found this news.
I am so sorry to see this news.
Condolences

It was with sorrow that I read of your loss, in the Taranaki Daily News which I receive online. I have had numerous adventures with the Cam and Sarah, during my time as an employee, and later as a shearer working with Reg Benjamins team.

So sorry for your loss, Kia Kaha.

Hi Sarah, you Juliet, Ben and Tom are in my thoughts. Cam indeed was one of the best, I'm so pleased we discovered that we were from the same lineage, got to know him better through our little chats in store. Thinking of you all.

To Sarah and family,

Thinking of you at this time when you face lonely sad days ahead without Cam. His involvement with our Taranaki Monitor farm at Makahu was much apparecviated. His enthusiasm and zest for farming and acrtually, life in general was amazing. He was always so enthusiastic and helpful. Whenever we met him after the end of the project he was always so friendly and interested in our progress. May you get strength to cope in the future. Regards, Bryce and Sue Wood.

We just can't believe it. Team Cam and Sarah one man down . Part of our lives for so long. So glad he was in our lives. Always team Cam and Sarah. But now our love and thoughts are with you and the children Sarah. With our love John (in Spain) and Jenny.

Dear Collier Family

On behalf of the Stratford Runners Walkers Club, our thoughts are with you all at this time and after.

I don't think you could ever meet a more enthusiastic, positive, friendly person.

More often than not, found doing laps of the Hawera pool and talking about the next adventure he was on. Not sure how you as a family managed to keep up with him - marathons, mountains, sea swims etc, etc.

It was a real pleasure to know Cam.

Dear Sarah,
We were deeply saddened to hear of Cam's sudden passing.
In what can only be a very difficult time for you and your family, we know you will have much support especially from the Mangamingi community.
Our sincere condolences to you.
Kia kaha - be strong.
