Colin and I go back a long way, probably more than 30 years, he used to turn up at The Mytholmroyd Dances and help to put out the chairs and tables. He made friends with my children and they still remember him.

Our paths have crossed over the years, he's always been a great support and good friend. In more recent years we have worked together as part of the stewarding team at Whitby, this year he was finally given a Team Leader badge, something he had been joking about for years and which had never happened.(See Bekka's photo)
During the week we shared a meal together and had our daily business meeting, these times I will treasure along with the big hug he gave me on the Friday night. He'd had a great week.

I will miss him at lots of different places and feel enriched by his friendship. A sad loss.
