Colin is remembered by many longstanding members of staff as someone who was always the same: pleased to see you, kind and chatty. He got on well with his colleagues, was hugely supported by them and was one of the great constants on the lunch queue each day, where he served the food with great patience. He was equally highly regarded by the pupils, as he treated them unfailingly with kindness and respect. Colin was straightforward, selfless, unassuming and had an immense sense of duty. He was always happy when he was at work, and Princethorpe was very much like home to him.

We remember Colin and his family in our prayers.
