I met Colin in 2012 in a coffee shop, we became friends and have been meeting for coffee every week ever since. We formed a group of men now know as the Revesby Coffee Group. We always appreciated Colin’s sense of humour and his knowledge of world history and geography. We have valued his friendship and he is greatly missed. Jan and family. you are very much in our prayers.
