Uncle Colin, sorry for not speaking to you in a while I sincerely regret it. Thank you for inspiring me to find a passion in History just like you. I'll miss you Uncle Colin and I wish that I'd been able to visit in the last couple of years. Thank you for everything, Love Ellie.

This story took place in the home of Barb & Colin who graciously hosted the after-wedding-rehearsal party for Heather & Myself along with other members of the wedding party and family alike. The party was wonderfully prepared and executed as one would expect if they knew Barb & Colin and went along very nicely when events took an interesting turn. In a nutshell, Colin and my best man, Ken became involved in some 'play-acting' with a couple of Colin's prized swords. Since my friend had consumed perhaps more alcohol than he should have, things got just a little 'tense' shall we say. At the time I do not remember much in the way of smiling, however now after all these years, and considering the fact that no-one was hurt, it does put a smile on my face. Perhaps a strange story to some, but I thought it needed to be shared.

Uncle Colin, you were always such an amazing person to be around and even if things were looking bad you still managed to smile. I could never forget spending time with you in your den watching movies and talking about fencing, you fascinated me even from the age of five.I have so many memories of both you and Aunt Barb that will be with me for life. I wish i could've seen you one last time to let you know how much we all love you and what a massive impact you had on the people that were lucky enough to of met you. Sweet dreams Uncle Col
love Morgan xx

Family isn't always blood. Its the people in your life who want you in theirs, the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what. That was you Uncle Colin, you always treated us like your own grankids and that will never be forgotten. We love you xoxo

Uncle Colin, before this week I never truly appreciated exactly how far away three thousand four hundred and twenty nine miles is, now I do. I say this because I realised that despite being three thousand four hundred and twenty nine miles away, you never failed to have an impression on me and the rest of the family. To make a long story short, I think you were brilliant. You were brilliant not just because of your impressive knowledge in regards to history but also because even when things were difficult for you in the sense of your general health, you still found the time to take a minute to talk on the phone or even sign your name in my mum's birthday card. The time spent in Canada with you and Aunty Barb was time I will honestly cherish forever. I have memories that I'll never forget, even if they are as simple as having breakfast at Leonard's or as exciting as the times we sat cheering on the black and white knight at Medieval Times. I'd like to thank you for all the time you spent ensuring that our time spent with you and Aunty Barb in Canada was not time spent wasted. Most of all I'd like to thank you for just being you because, like I said, you were brilliant. I am lucky to have known someone like you. Goodnight Uncle Colin. Love Evie xx

Uncle Colin taught me how to dance. Or more like he TRIED to teach me how to dance. He felt that it was something every educated young woman should know how to do, with some confidence and grace. As I said, he tried.
I know that between the ages of 5 and 15, we had many fun times together...he introduced me to Tom Jones (another great Welshman!)and I remember gliding around the family room in their Newmarket home, step step step...and I loved it! The Jiving Lessons were a lot of fun too...he sang the Big Bopper hit,even better than the original...to hear his booming tones..."Hellllooooo Babe...." Wow..."Chantilly Lace and a Pretty face, and a Pony Tail, hanging down, A wiggle in the walk and a giggle in the talk, Make the world go 'round"...Can you HEAR Colin singing it..? I still can..what a fun time, and he made this little girl, with glasses and no coordination,the runt of her class, feel like a lovely dancing Princess...I felt beautiful. Thanks from the bottom of my heart...

Dear Uncle Colin, I have so many fond memories of you; your laugh and smile, you were great at telling a joke. But some of my favorite memories are of the backyard BBQ's, spending Christmas and New Years together and our exclusive club "The Beautiful People of Oxtongue Lake" (of course you and I were the only members). I will miss you so much but I will cherish those memories and many others of our time together. God Bless you. Valerie xo

Uncle Colin and Auntie Barb...one did not need to be your biological child to feel the deep warmth and love you gave to us all...Thank you Uncle Colin for ingniting my love of all things History, for sharing his inquiring mind with me,for teaching me how to pour a beer, dance and jive...(Chantilly Lace was our song) and to appreciate culture and the finer things in life. You were a Gentleman in every sense of the word, and yet you could be funny in the earthiest way as well.. A true Gemini, many people wrapped up into one amazing, loving person. How lucky we were to have you.How devastated we are to lose your light. Some people are blessed to have one great father, Colin...I was lucky to have two.
Much love and thanks always for making me laugh and think..sometimes at the same time...Your loving Goddaughter (and her family) Heather

I thank you uncle Colin for being a part of my life and for always being there for our family. You were always supportive by giving us advice. We've enjoyed the times when we had Porto wine and cheese over conversations about politics and your great knowledge of history. Aunt Barb and yourself meant a great deal for our family although her and you were not blood related - but were still part of our family as if you guys were. You're gone from this world but not from our hearts - we'll cherish the memories we've had together. Love always: Roberta, Dennis, and family.

Thank you uncle Colin for being there for me and my family. Words cannot begin to express what you meant to us in our hearts. We appreciated your kindness, advice, support and history lessons. Your love was an example that family is not about bloodline but about love, compassion and selflessness. May you rest in peace. We will remember you fondly and hold on to the memories of the wine, port and cheese lunches. You will always be in our hearts and be remembered with the greatest of admiration. Love Michael and the Espinola family.

One of my fondest memories of my Uncle Colin was of his red paper Christmas bells. I was very luck as a child of about 12 years old to have gone to Canada with my Mum, Dad, my sister Jo and my grandmother Emily. I remember having a great white Christmas, I remember the conversation about the correct name for a pice of plastic to slide down the snow on. I called it a sledge Colin called it a toboggan. I know am right about that one. But the best of all was watching Colin putting the Christmas decorations up and how proud he was of his red paper bells. I remember the white coach being covered with the bells waiting for him to put them up. But at the time I was very easily distracted child, so after leaving the room and coming back a short time later I happened to sit on the coach. Totally forgetting about the bells and squashing a few of them beyond repair. A few years ago I became the proud owner of one of these red paper bells and have kept it safe. This Christmas it will take pride of place in my living room and I will look upon it with great fondness as I raise a glass to my Uncle Colin.

To my Uncle Colin.
Even thou you lived thousands of miles away you were never fare from my thoughts. I always knew you were just at the end of a phone if I needed you. You have always been such an inspiration to me. After Dad passed away it was you who filled that role and I thank you for the wonderful words of advice you gave me over the years. There will always be a special place in my heart for you and I will always miss you. I hope you knew how much you meant to me. Thank you for some wonderful memories. I hope I made you proud. Am so sorry I cant be there for you and Auntie Barb now. I am so pleased we had those few special days together this year with lots of cheese and port. Good Times. Good Night God bless Uncle Col love always. Dave and the girls. XXX
