I first met Colin at Pannal Ash. He had been back-coursed with a slipped disc and was back-coursed again when it happened for a second time so he was there for 20 weeks. Our paths didn’t cross much after that but he was well-respected and a good bloke. RIP.

Colin joined my shift as a rookie at TD(N) in 1979 and I remember him as being very keen and willing to learn how to be a traffic man. He made a positive impression on me and although I had not had contact with him for over 30 years I was saddened by his passing, as I still thought of him as a ‘youngster’ which, relatively speaking, he still was.
My sincere condolences to his wife and family.

Colin and I joined the cadets at the same time I believe and we later both worked at TD(N) for some years. He was a fine gentleman and a good, reliable officer. We are both the same age at 66 years.
Whilst serving as a member of traffic he became a key member of the Accident Investigation by Mathematics Team providing high quality expert evidence and opinion.
I cannot think of any detriment or ill thought or feeling whatsoever when remembering Colin and the many years I had the pleasure of knowing him.
I am deeply, sincerely sad to hear of his loss. He was a good footballer, a good cop and a smashing man.
Sincere condolences to his family. I am sorry that I will not be able to attend his funeral service.

I am very sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Col. We served together on Section 5 at Td(N).
I knew his dad and for a time in our early careers shared a ride to work, I have many good memories.
We were part of a solid team of firm friends on the shift, but as so often happens ‘on the job’ you move on and lose track.
My condolences to the family.

Colin was a thoroughly nice man. Served as a cadet with him. We were on the same initial course in Oct 74 when he was injured and back coursed twice! A dedicated professional! RIP Colin, my sincere condolences to your family.
