Australian radio and television presenter Jonathan Coleman has died after a four-year battle with prostate cancer. He was 65.
He died peacefully last night, a statement released by his family said.
"Jono and I have been soulmates for close to 40 years. We have been fortunate to live a rich and wonderful life and I have been lucky enough to watch up-close someone with enormous talent and the special gift to make people laugh," his wife Margot said.
"I will miss him beyond words and with the support of our gorgeous children, Oscar and Emily, and their partners, we will continue to live in the manner he wanted.
"When I asked Jono recently how he wanted to be remembered, he said, 'For doing a good deed every day.' Such was the generosity and caring nature of the love of my life."
Coleman had a long and distinguished career in radio and television in both Australia and his home country of the UK.
