Colin TILLEY Obituary

Sorry to hear of Colin´s passing.
Condolences from all the Ufala clan, New Plymouth.
Mick Novak.

Colin was a very rare Good-Man. He had an enormous passion and generosity for everything he did - bringing his big heart, engagement and humour every step of the way. His passing will remain a shock and a great loss for many. Colly will be deeply missed

To Glenda and the rest of the Tilley family
Having worked with Colin for over 4 years at Simx I will remember him as always being happy, positive and having a tremendous capacity for saying yes and doing his best to keep those who used his valuable services as happy as he could.
No easy task. It wasn't unusual to get an email at 3am from Colin, even after often trying to suggest he shouldn't! So Colin clearly had a tremendous work ethic, with pride and commitment to his job.
His vast experience over many years in marketing was certainly valued by us all here. Colin had a great sense of humour and wanted every conversation to start or end with a laugh, even when things were at their busiest.
Colin was valued and will be missed.

My sincere condolences to the Tilley family and close friends. I occasionally worked with Colin at Simx, he was always very helpful and always made me laugh. He will be deeply missed by his colleagues at Simx. May he rest in peace.

"May the Almighty God keeps your soul in his safe hands" Rest in peace, Colin the great person I have ever met.

Wishing you comfort and peace during this difficult time, I have only worked with Colin for a short period of time, but I will always remember him in many positive ways with a big smile and a great sense of humour, please accept my warmest condolences.

In the short time I've worked with Colin and got to know him, he was a good character with a big heart. Quick to crack a joke, had great advice and made sure everyone was ok. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Glenda and Family


My Heartfelt condolences to you all during this time of sorrow. May the Lord bring you all comfort and sustain you in the days ahead.

Colin was a great work colleague and I will miss his support and sense of humour.

RIP Colin

Working together for years, I shared many heartful memories with Colin. It's saddening to see him go, remembering all the great time we had together. With a heavy heart, I give my sincere condolences to his family. May his soul Rest in Peace.

Colin,

Had a keen interest for Basketball, and he was always a great person to talk to about my son and his passion for inter school champs. He was respected in the basketball arena and it sounded like he did very well with stats and other assistance. :)

He was great colleague I will never forget his kindness. May God him eternal rest and strength to bear the great pain.

Colly as I would fondly call him was a great work colleague . I appreciate all the banter we had and the silly times of the day we would chat on the phone because we would always run out of normal hours in the day. He was a hard worker and a total perfectionist (which would also drive me crazy because I had to wait longer for it to be right) I will miss these times, May he Rest In Peace and I send my heartfelt hugs to all of the family. Fly High buddy, Lisa x

We will all miss Colin who became a close friend just before he was taken away. Rest in Peace dear friend.

Dear Glenda and Family,

My heartfelt condolences to you all at this sad time.

Colin was an integral part of my Simx family, who genuinely cared about his work and those he worked with. His sense of humour, including the introduction of the "Yes" button (a personal favourite) and every day was 'only X number of days till Friday", punctuated with a regular supply of Friday chocolate made him a popular member of the team.

He was always quick to crack a joke or give great advice, sometimes at the same time, while working hard to help us achieve our goals.

He will be missed.

So sorry for your loss Glenda. Colin was a great work colleague and will be sorely missed. His dedication to work was inspirational to me, and I always enjoyed his company and the many chats we had. He also talked me back onto the golf range and I will be forever grateful to him. RIP Colin.

To Glenda and Family

Our deepest sympathy and thoughts are with you and your family at this very sad time.

Colin was well liked and a very hardworking and positive influence around the office at Simx. He will be sadly missed by us all.
Thinking of you and wishing you peace and comfort.

From all of the staff at Simx.

Such a tragedy. The office will miss his dry sense of humour.

Very sad to hear this news. Colin was a fun neighbour for many years, and a great soccer coach. Love and condolences to you Glenda and the boys and their families. We would hope to come to Colin's memorial service if we know when you have it.

Condolences from Brian and Bessie Turner and family.
