We may not have known Colin very well, but remember him fondly. Our thoughts and deepest sympathy go out to his family, friends and Ashleigh. In 23 years he made more people happy than most people could in 100 years. Everyone down here will miss you, mate, and we'll see you when we get there. See ya Coln.
Life is never long enough, is it.
Our friendship was rare. Colin and I began emailing each other through a chat room during my freshman year of college in 1995. It was amazing the closeness that we achieved solely through written communications. We knew everything about each other and what went on in our lives. I could name his friends by face just by the amazing amounts of pictures that he sent me.
