In memory of Colin who worked tirelessly with our son and boys at the YMCA. He dedicated his time and gymnastic knowledge to many and made us very proud parents when our son was selected for the Commonwealth Games. Thank you Colin you were the best and we can’t tell you how much we appreciated everything you put into coaching. A truly inspirational man. We will always have happy memories of you in the gym with our son.
So so sorry for your loss, Colin was quite remarkable in what he did 💙
