    Sympathy to all Colin’s family and friends. Although I’ve not seen Colin in decades, I still remember fondly his rendition of ‘Dock of the Bay’, and his motorcycle, which was not the most reliable form of transportation!
    Wishing you the peace that fond memories bring.

  5. I have great memories of cousin Colin and his family when I grew up in Massachusetts. I believe the last time I saw Colin was at his dad’s funeral in 2011. My prayers are with the Carney Family for the loss this kind and gentle person.
