Some of you would have met our friend Colin,
Colin and his Wife Tracey have been friends of ours for nearly 40 years, Colin even gave my wife Karen away at our wedding back in 1996, they both have been a big part of our life our children's life as their children are also ours,
He had been on many of my Lost World trips, including in 2024 to Morocco in his truck, Pyrenees and Dordogne on his motorcycle and Norway in the Summer with his family, He was also due in 2025 to come to the Black forest and Dolomites motorcycle tour but unfortunately was unable to.
In March 2025 we met Colin and his wife in London for a birthday meal, he said he had a pain in his side and was going to the doctors, after tests that pain turned out to be Cancer, one of the worst types, long story short, at the end of October we all went away to Norfolk, went for walks, a meal, and me and him planned to do a small motorcycle trip next May, he was in really good spirits and very positive.
After arriving home Colin unfortunately became unwell, he was due mid November to come to the motorcycle show at the NEC with a group of us, but was too unwell, his condition worsened and sadly Colin Passed away in December,
Colin had a big heart, loved the Outdoors and adventures, I know a lot of you would have met him, and some knew he was ill, the motorcycle trip this year we added him to the group chat as most people on the trip knew hm already,
Later this week we say goodbye to Colin, one of his sons, Lewis has set up a Just giving page for donations to MacMillan, I add the link below.
Some of his last words to me was “go live your dreams Gaz”
Fly high mate.
