The stories are endless,
One funnier than the next.
Your impressions were fire,
We all enjoyed them in jest!

Your bright green eyes,
And that Wicked Smile -
You lit up many a room,
Always went the extra mile.

I called you my co-worker, then my colleague
and my dear friend.
We will not forget you,
This is not the end.

Your memory lives on,
Even now as you rest.
Watch over us Colin,
You were Simply the Best!

Forever in my broken heart, Karen

Truly feel lucky to have spent a significant amount of time with Colin these past 2 or 3 years, whether it was on a ski trip or a share in The Pines. The pure joy, fun energy, unmatched storytelling, endless cultural knowledge, hot takes, hilarious quips, superior taste, witty banter, and warm friendship in which Colin generously provided to anyone in proximity are just a few things that I will sorely miss. Love you always, Colin. All my warmest thoughts and deepest sympathies to his loving family and perfect friends, all a reflection of Colin´s admirable character.
