I am so deeply saddened and shocked to hear of Colin's passing. This is so upsetting, he was a pillar of the School, and I will always remember him for the kind, honest, hardworking and dedicated individual he was. Our firm provides the School with IT services and I would often get multiple calls from him in the week, which would always start with "Hello Alay, sorry to bother you..." - he was never a bother, always a delight to speak to. We often forget that we are an external entity to Schools, and this is solely due to individuals like Colin who make you feel part of the School community. I was so happy for him when he took a well deserved step back to part time, after so many years of dedicated service, unfair he could only enjoy this for a short time. I will pray he rests in peace away from the troubles of the world.
I speak for the entire team here when I say we will miss him dearly. Almost the entire Company have had the pleasure of working with Colin over the years, and they were all very sad to hear the news this morning. They particularly remembered him for the comcial comments he would leave on our Job Sheets, next to the field 'Customer Position'. We would expect to read Site Manager, but he would usually leave us a funny note - same examples:
Customer Position: 'Looking dodgy with all the cuts to Education!'
Customer Position: 'Still standing after a hard day's work'
Customer Position: 'Standing at the whiteboard, listening to the sound'
Deepest condolences to Colin's family and the staff community at St Stephen's, our prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Alay, Mal & the team at ClickOn IT London.
Messages from some of the team:
"I supported the IT at St Stephen's for an interim period of about 6 months, and during this time I got to know Colin quite well. He was always my first port of call, and was dependable, friendly and helpful.
He always made our team feel welcome at the school, and I enjoyed many a good chat with Colin both professionally and personally. I will miss seeing him on my future visits to the school, and my thoughts are with his family.
