It is with heavy hearts that we share the peaceful passing of our beloved CRG, on Friday, 7th August 2026, at Te Awa Lifecare in Cambridge, surrounded by his immediate family. Much loved and loving husband of the late Margaret for 66 years. Loved father and father-in-law of Jayne and Wilson, Bryce (deceased) and Janine. Adored grandfather of Emily and Phil, Stanley, Kirk, Micah and Courtney, and great-grandfather of Billie and Tiddlet. We are deeply grateful for the love, support, and kind thoughts from family, friends, and staff at Te Awa during this time. In accordance with Colin's wishes, we have held a private family graveside burial. Your understanding and respect for our decision to honour Colin's wishes privately means a great deal to us.
