Thoughts

It is with great sadness that we announce Colin's passing on 18th January 2021, aged 89 years, after his brave battle with Motor Neurone Disease. A much loved husband to Thelma, father to Alastair (deceased) and Claire, Grandpa to James and Alex, Grandpa-in-Law to Charly and soon to be Alice and Great-Grandpa to Elijah and Joshua. The family would like to thank friends, the dedicated medical staff and all of Colin's carers for their kindness and support during the last few years of his life.
