Lovely Man

I first met Colin in the early 1970's as a customer at his hardware shop in Malvern Link. I was struck then by his direct eye-contact manner of approach - with, of course, a huge smile. I later became a member of Malvern 'Table' and found him at the heart of it all. Such a lovely bloke who I remember well as kindly, practical and sincere friend. God rest his soul and give comfort to his family and friends.
