Dear Bronia. For the past 13 years your family has been comforted by how Colin was such a perfect match for you. 2 stars slowly collided creating a brighter star. Colin wanted to hike the Bruce Trail but life decided differently for him. We pray that today he is In his dream living under the stars watching over you. Your memories will comfort you and bring you much laughter. We are here for support in your greatest time of need. With all our love, Madalane, Frank and family

Had the pleasure of golfing with Colin for a few years before his diagnosis. He always had a funny story and there were lots of laughs. I found him to be loyal, trustworthy and honest. He faced his illness with an attitude that was admirable. My condolences to you Bronia, and the rest of the family.

There are no words to describe the sadness Colin’s passing brings. He fought so hard and faced every obstacle with fierce determination and so much hope. You could see it in his eyes. He had a quiet strength and a warm wit and I always enjoyed chatting to him at our family gatherings. He was the love of Bronia’s life and she held his heart in hers. We grieve with her at this sad time and will remember him fondly… forever and always xx

Dear Bronia and Family,
I lost my husband to cancer at 89 but Colin left us too early. I hope the happy memories you made during your 13 years of marriage will give you comfort in the years ahead. I remember Colin as a very happy and energetic man and willing to help where needed. God bless you all with his love and comfort.

I met Colin a few years ago at Sauble Golf Course, and from there we became early morning golfing friends. Colin was a person who would go out of his way to help anyone. I am proud to have called him my friend. He battled hard this past year but is finally at rest. My condolences to Bronia and family. Thoughts and prayers coming your way.

Dear Bronia, sad news even reaches the Caribbean. We only knew Colin for a short time in our lives. He was an outstanding human being and we were privileged to know him. He will be missed by ourselves and members of the Sauble Lawn Bowling Club, sincerely Joan and Bob Bowman
