Dear Irene and family,
I have just learned of Colin's passing and am so sorry to hear of it. We were first cousins and I remember him as a very sunny child, who grew up to be a warm and lovely adult. Because I have lived in the UK for the last 50 years, I have had only a few opportunities to catch up with him - and you - but each time was special and rewarding. I send you my love and sympathy

Deepest sympathies on the very sad loss of Colin . I worked with Colin for a number of years at Southland district council a decent kiwi bloke who really cared about the safety of his fellow workers and we had some good rugby discussions . Vale, Colin .

Very sad to hear of the Death of Colin. He was a very solid member of Rugby Southland Referees,. I always bounced my ideas through Colin re refereeing and got some great fed back. He has coached a lot of members since he arrived from Taranaki. Colin was a guy you could really enjoy and he will be really missed in refereeing circles. Irene and family thanks for sharing him with us.
