Colin Hawken
Hello to ALL
I received this Email Today from a Chris Barsby
Hello all,
I知 Colins Great Nephew.
I致e based this email upon Colins address book, so my apologies if you are no longer in contact with him. Unfortunately Colin has passed away in the last week, and as I know many of you were held fondly by him, I知 sure that he would want you know.
Those of you who are in the UK and would like to attend the funeral are more than welcome to contact me via this email address, and I値l endeavour to inform you of the arrangements in due course.
Many thanks
Chris
Very sad to hear of one of our Shipmates passing!
My Sincere Condolences to Colin's Family and Friends,he will be missed here on site!
With Respect
Doc Vernon

Re: Colin Hawken
Oh Doc, How sad, Colin had been rather quiet of late [think he'd had a stroke] and looked a wee bit thinner in his last photograph on site. My condolences to his family. May he R.I.P.

Hi,
The passing of Colin is somewhat a bit of a shock,having met him several times
on the southern meetups.
Rest in peace my friend.
