The world is a dimmer place without you in it. Its been a privilidge to know you Gaff. See you on the otherside mate xx

A true gentleman , always upbeat and friendly. A great personality and would make you smile as soon as you saw him. And that was before the stories he told. I remember joining army cadets and him and Alan screaming at me and Keith Ellis as newbies and we couldn’t contain our laughter .Sorely missed , a genuine good soul who has left a huge gap in many lives Lots of love to you and your family our thoughts and hearts are with you all ❤️

In Loving Memory of Colin
"There is no love like the love for a brother."
Colin was the funny one of us three—the middle brother to myself, Kevin, and Stuart. My heart is full of the memories we made growing up together in Hatfield Peverel. We did all the naughty things brothers are supposed to do: endless games of knock-down-ginger, tearing over the rec, and heading down the shrub or over the spinney (now known as the duck pond).
We did our fair share of fighting with each other, too—I won’t say too much, but we certainly did some damage between us!
Colin had a true blessing: he could make people feel good about themselves. He made friends so easily all around the world during his ventures, from Cambodia and Australia to Germany, leaving a trail of laughter wherever he went.
Throughout the years, no matter how many miles were between us, we remained connected by the heart. We start
