Colin MEADS Obituary

Dear Rhonda, Clive and family. My love and thoughts have been with you all with loss of your wonderful father. I know you will have lifelong memories which will remain with you all forever. I was able to watch the service on onenewsnow live streamed, today which was a great tribute to a great man. My love to you all . Bev Depree

I am from Te Kuiti born and raises but left in my earlier teens and grew up knowing who you were and how much of a awsome rugby player and All Black player you were. You have definitely done Te Kuiti proud and I am coming back home to pay my respects to you on your last journey tomorrow. King Country, Waikato, NZ, are proud to have you. Thank you for being you and loving our little town/community Te Kuiti. You will be immensely missed by your whanau and the community and in the rugby sector. Rest easy Sir Colin Meads.

"I'm an expat Kiwi from Hamilton.hav lived in Perth WA for the 25 yrs but always an AllBlack supporter...am sis in law of Sir Colins friend Bruce GIBSON Hamilton.He had always told me of his generosity wth charities, his humility & courage with facing his illness.I send my humble condolences to the family.RIP"

Grew up in Te Kuiti always followed Sir Colin. Have lived in Australia for 54 years but never forgotten who I admired.
Condolences to the family.

Was lucky enough to listen to you speak....grew up being told I had legs like you which for a girl was a scary thought.Much admiration and respect for the All Black and The Man from The Kuiti.RIP GREAT MR MEADS

Thank you, Sir Colin, for the sheer joy & excitement you gave me, & those of my generation, who followed your deeds & those of your fellow players on the Rugby Fields of the World.

To the Meads Family. Our sincere condolences to you on the passing of Colin. My husband grew up in the King Country and Colin was his idle whom he met at a golf function in Hamilton when Colin was the guest speaker. right up until my husband died 8 years ago he just loved him. It is wonderful that you shared Colin with NZ and he seemed to be a very humble man. God bless you all from the Holman Family in Hamilton.
