It was sad to read that Colin has done his final run into the sunset. I have many fond memories from a very young age of Colin and family down on the farm etc. plus many fun times over many years at Stratford Runners and Walkers. Thinking of my cousins and their families at this sad time. RIP Colin

Kurthy Dedicated member of Joes Joggers back in the day. You were a true gentleman letting me beat you in the 10ks but never in the marathons and a true gentleman in life. Have enjoyed our long friendship carrying on from when you were in Stratford. RIP
