Very sorry to hear of Colin's passing. He was a wonderful man to have known. When I joined Oxford Dodge, Colin went out of his way to make me comfortable, even arranging for me to play with him in a company golf day shortly after arriving. It meant a great deal to me at the time and I will always remember that. Colin was a pleasure to work with as he always had an upbeat, positive attitude, and a great sense of humour.
