Colin helped me organise many school trips to the Electric Palace. He was such a kind man and always very helpful and friendly.

A good friend and Port Manager, good to work for and good company

36 years of solid friendship Colin. You taught me so much about life, politics, your family, children, friends. Always that kind gentleman willing to advise and help and have fun too. I will miss you but I shall also hold onto the memory of our friendship, jokes, funny stories. RIP my friend - always in my heart. I hope one day up there you will have a glass of red and a bowl of chips at the ready and to tell me of all the interesting people you have met. Until then Col - Bye my dearest friend, Mags xxx Jade, Ryan and Megan x

So sad to hear the news of Colin’s passing. I first met Colin at the cinema in Harwich about 20 years ago when he was a client of mine at Carlton Screen Advertising. Over the years we always had a catch up at industry events and I will miss not seeing him at the next one. An absolutely lovely gentleman who will be missed. My sincere condolences to family and friends.

I mourn the passing of my darling brother Colin. I loved him for his boyish smile and immense compassion. He was always by my side in difficult times and we shared sone lovely memories of growing up together. I will miss him very much.

Very sorry to hear about Colin. Our condolences go to his wife and family.

So sad, we had been colleagues for well over 20 years Sorry, cant make the funeral but will try to get to Harwich on 28/09. He will be sorely missed, Ian

Many years of good memories.

Colin was a good boss to my Dad. He & Pat became firm family friends. He will be sadly missed. Condolences to Pat, Sarah, Jeremy and all the family.

I am so sorry for the loss of your husband Colin.

I have known Colin now for about 7 or 8 years, and we were members of our transport pressure group, now the British Regional Transport Association. I first got to know him via the group's Chief Executive Officer, namely Richard Pill.

We had often attended several meetings - apart from the Executive Committee meetings and several places including Northampton, Guildford and Horsham. We also held delegated meetings(on Zoom) with prospective volunteers from our voluntary bureaux, and we also held 'physical' meetings such as stakeholders(including some MPs at Westminster), which was prominent prior to the pandemic.

With condolences.

Rest in piece Colin.
