Uncle Col, you loved your family passionately. Your boys were your life, you always put them first. We never saw you happier than the day you married Aunty Jackie. Dad and you were always the best of mates, brothers laughing and drinking in the shed, having a wonderful time when you got together. You will be remembered fondly. Deepest sympathy to Dean, Brett, Grant, Aunty Jackie, Virginia, Aaron, Ricky and families. Lots of love Sue, Keegan (in heaven) and Greg.xxx

To Jacki, Deano, Brett and Butsy....please accept my heart felt condolences on the passing of Colin. A dear friend who in recent years we never crossed paths too often but when we did it with mutual fondness, the biggest smile and a robust hand shake. Memories of hanging out in the shed,the days at the footy watching the boys out at the warra sinking a few tinnies. Colin left this place to another where he can continue to watch out over his family who absolutely meant the whole world to him. The love he had for Jacki and his boys was equally shared among his adored grandchildren.Rest in Peace old mate and catch you up there one day. Rod and the Cartwright family

Col,
One of life’s true characters. Always welcoming and up for a chat. A proud dad and Pa. Rest easy Col, thank you for being you.
My condolences to Jackie, Dean, Brett, Grant and familiesNovember 20, 2024 4:23 pm
Colin, you were a great man. One of life's colourful and fun blokes. I knew you from a little tacker who jumped the back fence to play with Grant. You treated me like part of the family. We shared many laughs, drinks and shots of plonk in the shed. You loved nothing more than your boys and welcomed anyone in. You were great company over the years and I enjoyed every chat we had. You will be missed but always in my memories. Our thoughts and condolences are with Grant, Jackie, Dean, Brett and extended family. Love Jason, Brooke, Jack Ava & Ruby Schram.
