We are devastated by this news. We never knew what his surname was, he was just Colin. When Anne came to Whitby for the first time in 2003 we were at the Met and after the Irish Hoolie were finding it hard to get a taxi. Colin just said "come on jump in to the car" and dropped us back to our digs. In June 2004 we were in Skibbereen at the Skibbereen Singers Club when Jerry was standing at the bar, a pair of giant arms came round him from behind and a voice said "guess who Jerry". Colin of course! What an absolutely brilliant man. This coming on top of Tom Munnelly's death is very hard to take. It seems that its always the good ones.
