My thoughts are very much with Margaret and family, and of course with my former colleague Clive - a true gentleman indeed.
You were one of my first contacts at the College when I started teaching Clive, and you treated my bikes with love and care ever since.

We’ve lost not just a former colleague, but a friend. As a couple, we feel lucky to have known Clive in his two roles — Michelle as a colleague and Darren as a fellow cyclist.
Even after retiring, Clive never lost that teacher’s way of connecting with people — patient, kind, and always up for a chat or taking the opportunity to tell a story . Whether at work or out on the road, he made the time we spent with him better.
A gentleman who will be deeply missed and always remembered.March 24, 2026 8:09 pm
Deepest sympathy to Margaret and family. Clive will be sadly missed around the Wangoom circuit at the Sunday morning race. He would always thank the volunteers on corners as he rode past. A gentleman on and off the bike. Rest peacefully Clive. Rusty, Leesa, Dylan & Liam

Deepest condolences to Marg, Daniel, Kerri and families.
Fond memories of Clive (Mr Coomber) from school days. Then friendship through Kerri and Clive's love of bike riding, with my Dad's passion for biking too.I'll miss passing him each morning on my way to work, we'd cross paths at almost the same spot near tank corner each morning. Always with a wave and a smile.
Rest in peace Mr Coomber.
