A little man with a big heart, Colin Smyth....who gave us his time to train, climb those hills, sprint the longmile, listen to your 'funny' jokes. Taught us to be packleaders...thank you. You and Dorothy will start up another walkers group I'm sure

Colin, thank you for being part of our lives. Special memories and experiences we shared (like camping and all the running trips) I can share with my clan now. Without you and Pat for support I wouldnt have made it through my first half marathon. Sharon, Heather and Wayne- Colin was one special Dad.
Keep walking, pain free and happy. With love, Zoe
