Vale Brian Chamberlain 27 Nov 2002
Sadly, we farewell our friend Brian, who died suddenly after a lengthy lung illness.
He was a loyal member of the STARS group. He was a great supporter of
“Setting the Cat among the Pigeons” fundraiser in Dec 2000, selling over 1000
tickets. He attended all our LungNet seminars, including on 19 Oct 2002. He
was present at the media launch of World COPD day in Hobart on 20 Nov 2002.
He died only 1 week later. His wife, Coralie, requested that donations in his
memory be given to the ALF rather than flowers at his funeral. May he rest in
peace. Our condolences to Coralie & our thanks for her support.
