I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I worked for Colin at Citibank and have so many fond memories. He was truly a wonderful person and a pleasure to have worked with.

I have only just learned from an old colleague of Barclays of the very sad news about Colin.  It was painful indeed to hear this: I worked with Colin particularly at the time of the credit crunch and he was a business leader par excellence and a marvellous coach and supporter of his team.  We will all miss him incredibly.  Wendy Deller

I learned about Colin's passing away this morning on a phone call.  It is sad beyond words.  I had the previlidge of working with him at Barclays and he was a true blue leader.  An honourable man. I was lost for words this morning, and I am lost for words now...

Dear Renee, Aaron and Rebecca,

I'm so sorry to hear that Colin is no longer with all of us. 

I had the pleasure of working with him for a couple of years. He always carried himself with utmost professionalism and was a thorough gentleman. We all respected him immensely and sought his guidance. My very best wishes to you all and may his soul rest in peace.

I knew Colin at Citibank, and was very surprised to hear of his sudden passing.   I am very sorry for your loss.  Cathy LaFalce

Dear Renee, Aaron and Rebecca,
I am so very sorry to hear the news about Colin. 
I worked for Colin at Citi - and I have often told people how much I  learned from him - about managing through the numbers and about "all things S.W.I.F.T.".
My thoughts are with you.

I learned lately of Colin's passing and am deeply saddened. Colin was not only a great colleague of mine at Bank of America and ABN Amro but also a close personal friend.

I just learned about Colin's death today.  I am really saddened by his passing, and shocked since when we talked just a short time ago he looked forward to our getting together the next time he traveled to New York.  Colin was a valued colleague at Citibank and a good friend from then on.

I am indebted to him for the time and help he provided to me personally, and for his friendship.  Colin, rest in peace my friend.

Colin was like an uncle to me.  He was a dear friend of my father, Howard, and I will always remember him with great fondness.  My heart goes out to his family.

This has been a great shock, and I wish all of Colin's family, my deepest sympathies.  I met Colin, who was a still is a friend of my husband Howard, in South Africa.  He was wonderful soft spoken, good friend.  Even though we moved miles apart, he was always in my heart and still is.

Again, my sincere condolences to all.

I knew Colin in my days at Barclays. He was a gentle giant who treated all colleagues of all levels with utmost regard. He will be greatly missed. Godspeed, Colin.

Dear Mrs Klipin, I worked very closely with Colin at Barclays. Colin was a gentlemen and a very honorable person. I had the utmost respect for him. I am very sorry indeed. My very best wishes to you and the children and may his soul rest in peace.

While at Deloitte and afterwards I always looked forward to spending time with Colin, his insights, sense of partnership and general good nature always came thought.  He was a class act and a real gentlemen.  I am sadden for all who knew him and prayers to his family.

I have been fortunate to work with Colin over the last 4 years.  Colin was very passionate about banking and payments and was always at the centre of the big changes taking place.  The banking and payments community will be the poorer for his passing and he is missed.  My sincere condolences go out to his family and my thanks for sharing Colin with us.  Mike Hobday IBM
