The take down at the Wail was rather slow - I just couldn't find the energy. Colin was such a larger than life character, he will leave a big hole. It is going to take quite some time to sink in truly.

I was sat in a Tig's tent talking of life and death with both Tig and Colin just a few weeks ago. As he said, it's what you do with your life that matters, and he did a lot with his. Spreading good will and laughter as he went.

He not only knew how to listen, but he always had the time. He was always very encouraging with the ability to make you feel special.

Colin - you will be sorely missed by all who knew you.
