I worked with Colin for many years on the police department. Colin could be argumentative, stubborn, single-minded and abrasive at times. But he was one of the most fearless cops I ever worked with. He had great street smarts. He could sniff out a bad guy and catch him when many of us would have missed. He was passionate about police work and eager to be the first through the door. There were times he would frustrate me to no end and we’d argue. But at the end of the day I grew to have great respect and enjoyed working with him. He never failed to find the humor in the job and could give me a smile when things were going tough.  I’ve seen him show compassion with people that needed it but I know he’d never want you to see that side of him. I miss working with him. I wish I had the chance to say good bye. Rest in peace, my brother.

Thank you for your service with the Seekonk Police Department. Those of us who worked with you remember the good times. 

Chief Enos

Colin's sudden passing is a terrible shock and loss.  I first met Colin through our children twenty years ago.   He was a good man and a devoted father.  He will be missed.

Colin was a Sergeant when I first started with the department. He encouraged myself and new officers to be hard working cops. On behalf of the Seekonk Police Department please accept our condolences for your loss.
