Colin.. you would be happy with the way the course of your long life has run, including the achievement of so many things you have been involved with, apart from losing Alison too soon. We remember all the good times reminiscing and chatting about the present and future and at the same time your children and grandchildren were growing like the proverbial mushroom. Our blessing.

To Barb and family, I am thinking of you today, while watching the livestream, when you will be farewelling your beloved father and grandfather. My love to you all at this very sad time. Sandy and girls.

Dear family. Very sorry to hear of your dads passing.It was great to have a good chat with him at your mums funeral. It's a pity that all the family cannot be together at this sad time. Deepest sympathy to you all, from Geoff Eagle.

Dear B I remember the good times spent with you, Greg and the kids and on many ocassions your mum and dad in Tauranga. What a great life they had and all lovely family time they spent with you all. Our quick visit up to Jean Sandel looks like was our last. Take care. Lots of Love Lynn and Dave xxx

On behalf of Brent and I we would like to extend our condolences to you all. We will be on the live stream watching the service. Thinking of you all.

Dear Barbara, Sad to read the news of your dad. It has been many years since we have caught up with you . Feel free to email me. Big hugs Jan and Doreen Payne

Dear Barbara and family I am saddened for you all on the death of a much-loved father and grandfather. Though Colin would have been pleased to finally be with Alison again, it is still painful for those who are left behind. I wish you strength during this time. Love and sympathy, Joy

Dear Barb Murray and Wayne With deepest sympathy to you and your families on the death of your Dad. I have fond memories of Uncle Colin and the fun when the family were all together. My thoughts are with you. Love to all Helen
