It is with sadness that I heard of Colin's death. I feel for his family and close friends to whom I offer my condolences.
I was lucky to get to know Colin during the years I taught him French. He was passionate, curious, hard working and kind.
His his depictions of the Munroes, of the joy he felt when he sang, his accounts of his childhood 'up north' and how he loved working and being useful to others - all will with stay with me.
What I will remember with the most fondness are his beautiful smile, warm laughter, his kindness and his eagerness to learn.
