A Family Company
I met Colin and his family when I was stationed at Grafton. A lovely bloke who I came to know as a religious and dedicated family man. Whilst serving at Grafton he applied for his TPI pension subsequent to 2 tours of Vietnam. I read many of his letters of support by fellow servicemen and I was astounded by his courage and valour whilst serving in Vietnam set out in the supporting letters. Col received his TPI pension and retired with family to Queensland. I am so sorry to hear of his passing but I’m sure he had a place set aside for him in heaven. RIP my friend. Love and condolences to wife and family.
