Colin was born in 1933, attended Merchant Taylor’s School and what is now the University of London before joining the National Salt Glaze Pipe Manufacturers Association where he continued to work for the rest of his very distinguished professional career. He married Ann in 1957 and they had a son, Bruce, and daughter, Nichola.
Colin’s involvement with CIWEM and the 5 S’s led to his membership of the Company. He became a Court Assistant in 1989, Walbrook Warden in 1995 and Master in 1998. As a Past Master he edited the Conservator for many years, served as Chairman of the Past Masters Committee and Chairman of the Water Conservation Trust until he retired in 2016. In recognition of his service to the Company he was appointed an Honorary Liveryman in January of this year.
Colin and Ann celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary on 27th July this year and sadly Colin died three days later. The funeral service was held at Amersham Crematorium. Tributes were paid by Colin’s son and daughter and I was honoured to read the eulogy written by the Deputy Master Keith Tozzi. The service was followed by a very pleasant reception at the Kings Arms in Amersham.
Our thoughts are with Ann and her family at this very sad time.
