Subject: RE: Obit: Colin Kemp (Mudcatter Col K)
Just returning from Fylde having heard the news shortly before George Papavgeris' set at the Legion today.

I've known Colin since I was small and he's been a good friend to me and on more than one occasion has dug me out of a hole and been a shoulder to cry on.

There was a standing joke with Moor & Coast's evening shift, which is normally me and Chris, that we couldn't shut until Colin came in for his supper, some of you lot should be thankful for that (sic) as he was always one of the last in, always too busy enjoying himself!

I'm sure he did what he wanted with his life because as he so rightly put it:
"We are dying from the moment we are born, it is just a case of how long we take to go and what we do when we are here."

Whatever happens, he made an impact on a lot of people's lives, he was well liked, well spoken of and as far as I'm concerned that's the right sort of impact to make.

I'm a skeptic but if there was any way Colin could read all of this I'd just like to say, thanks for the memories!
