“Those of us who knew him well did not expect his life to end so quickly. We believed in his optimism, his relentlessness and the other positive characteristics that adorned our Coletto, and we hoped that he would win his battle against the disease. He was a co-founder of our sports association, and for all these years he was also the vice-president of the association. After Mark Elsner, we now have another great name, a man who can only be spoken of in superlatives. Cole, rest in peace. Your death is much too soon. You had a lot of ideas, and you knew how to present Olimpija in the best way and how to show it in the best light as a former player,“, wrote Janez Zupančič, President of ŠD Veterani NK Olimpija Ljubljana, on the death of the former football player.
