I first met Colin in June 2022, when i walk into Sallys Tea Rooms. He was sitting with his friend Brian having a chat, waiting for their lunch. I had just sat down, Colin and Brian both said hello and imediatley that was it. We all just started chating, and it was soon apparent that they were all (Sally & Paddy) so lovely and welcoming, it didn't take me long to click and realise that this was going to be a great friendship.

You don't have to know people a life time to create a frienship bond and Colin was the proof of that. Everybody invited me back to the Tea Rooms for the next few days, such fun. 

I then stayed in touch with Colin and our short friendship was memorable.

What a lovely strong hearted and cheerful man. I can only assume that those friends that have known Colin for many years have made a true life long friend and he will leave a massive void in their lives.

Our memories of Colin will last forever.
