He always wore his heart on his sleeve. Colin would happily engage in a variety of topics ranging from car mechanics, current affairs and how he would put the world's wrongs to right. I loved Colin's wonderfully dry sense of humour. His deadpan expressions would often hide a cheeky and mischievous nature. Colin enjoyed the odd joke or prank and could conduct a conversation in fluent Geordie, brummie and Liverpool accents just to name a few. He could also speak a bit a Spanish. A warm and genuine individual who I was lucky to have known. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
