I remember Kevin’s stories of the impact your family made when they returned to visit family in Scotland after living in Canada. His memories of Colin in particular were of a man who loved adventure and lived the same way.
So sorry for your loss.

Thank you John and Kaye
Colin spoke frequently and fondly of his Frat friends. It was for sure a part of who he was.
We could not spend much time together, life is like that but the little moments spent together we do not forget. You have traveled a lot, so we wish you a safe journey among the heavens. Thank you to all the family and friends. Tahitian kisses.
Dear Maiarii, Manava, Tehauaruunui and Matahina.
Colin was blessed to have had the time with you he did. You made him feel so special, to know he was loved and that he loved you all was important. I am grateful to you and my sister for making that possible.
Take care of yourselves and hope to be able to see you soon.
Much love Auntie Doreen.
To the Hunter family
Our sincere condolences on the passing of Colin. May all your fond memories help during these difficult times.

I was thankful to meet with my wonderful cousin Colin at the celebration of my brother Kevin’s life, in London Ontario in May of this year. It was a significant moment for me because I had worked with Colin in 1970 at a Holiday Camp in Scotland when I was 16 and he was 21 it was six months of complete mischief where he taught me how to drink and fight, handle girls and live life to the full, the perfect mentor ! When we met again in May after some fifty years he took off where we had left, as if no time at all had passed. I shall miss you being around Colin and listening about your intrepid adventures.
I loved you and all your family in Canada and hope that we meet again somewhere.
