Colin SWINDALE Obituary

Colin was the most affable gentleman, and a totally unflappable person.
I worked with Colin from the early 1990's on the many electrical projects that he estimated throughout New Zealand.
Over the next 20 years or so that we worked together, his sense of humour and experience was very much appreciated.
RIP Colin - regards Warren Karlsson

Hey Swin.
What an amazing life you have had - you did it all! Navy, career, family, overseas adventures and so many stories!
Thank you for being a wonderful role model, father figure, and friend. Thank you for always being there - our rock - and for always encouraging me to reach my full potential.
Your legacy with continue with your amazing boys and their families - a credit to you and Barb.
I am sad you have left us behind... but I am so happy that you and Barb are back together.
Love you and bye for now x

To Barbara and family.
It is with great sadness that this notice was passed on to me by Ian Howlett.
Colin was a man I admired and great joy to work and play with, as were the entire Swindale family.
I am smocked and deeply saddened by Colin´s passing.
With best wishes at this difficult time.
Mark Tonkin.

Love you Granddad <3

Sincere sympathy to Colin and Barbara's boys and their families. Wonderful memories by Margaret and myself of Colin and Barbara on Tarbela, Pakistan project in 1980's. Great camerarderie and much loved humour.
