Colin,
You were a lovely man and a great friend to our family. Always happy, smiling, industrious, sporty and really great company - you were my Dad's business partner and friend and one of my best mate's Dad as a child - yours was a happy home and you gave your family a great life and you should feel very proud of the gifts you've given to them and how they've grown. Rest in peace, Colin and thanks for the memories (most notably of all the ski holidays and the time you crashed into a lady on the piste and took her down the mountain with you - your good nature charm meant she forgave you!) With love, Simon

A lovely man who was always pleasant, smiling and happy to see us. He loved giving me a quick peck on the cheek with a glint in his eyes. He must have been great company before his illness - wish we'd known him then as well. Much love, Sue & Roy xx
Rest in Peace our beautiful Dad
