Dear Christine and the extended family my condolences to you all - extremely sad news indeed.
Colin and I go back to 1956 when he lived in Francis Street and myself in Scott Street - we both attended
Seymour Street kindergarten - then later Blenheim School, Bohally and finally Marlborough College - both doing our apprenticeships at the same time - RIP my dear long term friend - Robbie Canberra

Christine and Family, please accept our condolences of the loss of one of natures true gentlemen.
Colin or Chozy as known to me was indeed a wonderful man. We had many miss adventures in our early lives and he was a hard and ferocious competitor in all sports. Always to hold the hand of friendship at the end of the game.
Like a lot we drifted apart in later years and reunited about 10 years ago with the invitation to visit on my next trip back to Blenheim. Sadly this has not happened. I was truly grateful for being able to share his later life this morning.
All our love Les and Sharon Lammas. Brisbane
