Remembering a wonderful community champion, from grocer to firefighter Col had a smile and kind word for all and diligently served his customers and community with an amazing passion and commitment. He bled Wonthaggi and we are so much the lessor for his passing. Our thoughts are with Bessie, Michael and Kerri and families, may your memories lift and carry you.

Such a respectful, caring and gentle man.
After so many occasions catering at St Joseph’s Parish Hall, Colin would wait and escort us safely to our cars, no matter how late at night. In thanking him I said people will begin to talk. As quick as ever the reply came “Oh I hope so”! So many memories of one of Wonthaggi’s special people.Thank you Colin.

Col (wiggy) was a great person and a selfless contributor to Wonthaggi in both business and community. You will be sadly missed by all of us that spent so much time together at the Wonthaggi Fire Brigade.
Always one to have a great joke about a box of matches. A true gentleman
