My thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time. Barb.
I was 9 when dad passed away and you,Jimmy and mum all bought a house together yous made sure all us younger ones and all our extras and there were heaps of them had food and lived comfortably. We didn't have much but we had love and laughter thanks to you Jimmy and mum which made us the proudest family. I remember the time you built your 1st carding 130 mile down Scott Street and ended up in a ditch. I'm so lucky to be your sister and I wouldn't have it any other way. Love you so much colin you will always be in in my heart ❤ . Your loving little sister Jan 😘

Brother-n-law, dear friend, and uncle... gone to soon. One of the great men of our time, whose name that will not be remembered in the history books, but will live forever in our hearts and minds. A jack of all trades and master of them all. Colin, rest in peace... you have earned it.
