Colin Whiteside Obituary

Colin Whiteside Passed away in his Georgia home on Wednesday February 8th. He is survived by Audrey, his loving wife of 48 years; their three children Michael, Laurie and Adam; their respective spouses Cheryl, Raymond and Jessica; and their four grandchildren Christopher, Madison, Sasha and Ty. Mr. Whiteside's career began as a journeyman carpenter in Manchester, England and continued with several senior management roles in UK and South African construction companies. Immigrating to California in 1978, Colin built a business to rival the absolute best of the high end custom home builders. In doing so, he touched the lives of people from all walks of life from the first plumber he ever did business with, to the CEO of a multi billion dollar company. Colin's journey ended in Peachtree City, GA, where he spent the remaining two years of his life. His spirit will be with us always but Colin will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Services were held in Georgia on February 11. A Celebration of his Life will be held at Holbrook Palmer Park in Atherton, CA, on Friday, March 24th at 4:30pm.
