My first real memory of you as a uncle was when yourself and aunty Barbara gave me a present and it was a red skate board, helmet and pads. I was on another planet with excitement! I also remember Clensham Lane, i was sent to yours for the holidays. As a child i would wake up early, but the problem was aunty Barbara & yourself would have a lie in and get up around noon ish. At this time i am bored and starving!!!! Col, You would wake up and cook this amazing full English breakfast, first time i ever had fried bread (1978 ish). There are much more memories, at Aubrey's & Sues's in Northolt, renovating house, (marijuana in grill). At Tommy's & Eileen's house in Ireland etc etc! Thank you Col for all the building work you did in my houses, my mothers house, my brothers houses and you never charged us a penny. All you ever asked for was cups of tea & a meal! You really are a genuine soul, i am certainly going to miss you Col. Bal!
