In loving memory of Bryan Frederick Coleman who sadly passed away on 8th June 2023.
Remembering Bryan, a dearly loved husband, father and friend to many. He will be missed by friends and colleagues from Percy Small Motorcycles, Vosper Thornycroft Ship Repair Southampton and Red Funnel where he ended his working life as a Chief Engineer on the Isle Of Wight Ferries.
A great lover of music, he played accordion and trumpet in a Boys Brigade Band in his youth, passing on his talent and love of music to his son and daughter.
He had a passion for motorcycles and when working for Percy Small was involved with Southampton Speedway, getting to know many of the riders that visited the shop.
In his retirement he enjoyed playing Bowls for the Vosper Thornycroft Retired Members Bowling club.
He enjoyed caravan holidays with his family in France and Spain and eventually 'upgraded' to hotel breaks in Cala Bona Majorca with his wife Maureen.
He will be remembered fondly and was always glad to help anyone who needed it. Rest in peace now Bryan.

In loving memory of Bryan Coleman who passed away on the 8th June 2023. He was a real gentleman, a devoted family man and someone who touched the hearts of everyone who knew or met him.

Bryan was a man who knew the local music scene well, and those musicians who were a part of it. He passed his love of music on to his children, and encouraged them to participate whenever they could.

Our love and condolences go to Maureen, John and Kaye.

Love from Ken and Diana Byng.
