A genuine hardworking, fun loving, gentleman. I know all of our old workmates at Air New Zealand would agree you were one of the best. Enjoyed so many brilliant Xmas parties at your place where you and the lovely Di welcomed everyone and treated us like family. Vivid memories of lots of us taking unplanned dips in the pool. Much loved by so many. RIP dear friend.

Well mate I have to remember the good times that we had at Mangere on Sundays in the garage Scott's trucks verses Air NZ dart's and pool boy those we're the days apart from other party's the you and my sis Diane put on. RIP good mate and brother in law. Great memories Col.

Ding Dong, will never forget our years at Air New Zealand, the laughs, the pranks and our friendship. And the parties at yours, you and Di sure knew how to throw a great party. The good times we all had at Snells Beach when we had our baches and later on when we purchased our retirement homes. Rest in love me old mate Mike and Pam

Goodbye Uncle Colin - I have lots of memories of visiting you & Dianne when we were kids. Catching up years later in Oz for the car racing etc. Rest In Peace & fly with the angels.

Thank you Uncle Colin for always coming to stay or visit with me when in Australia for the car racing in Adelaide. Beautiful hugs, laughs & memories I will cherish always. Fly with the angels now you are one with aunty Di. 💜🙏
