I worked with Colin at “108 Bond” in my role as a public health nurse. Colin was a memorable character - lively, interesting and committed to his clients. His stories and love of people are gifts to many. Sincere condolences to the family. - Posted by: Donalda Wotton (Former Co-Worker) on: Dec 04, 2021

I was saddened to hear of Colin's passing. Colin was such an asset in our building. He planted the most beautiful flowers surrounding the front entrance. He was a fantastic bingo caller and always willing to lend a hand. We had commonality regarding health issues and shared conversation about such. He fought hard and may you RIP Colin. My heartfelt condolences to everyone that had the pleasure of having Colin in their lives. - Posted by: Janet Carr (Neighbour ) on: Dec 04, 2021
