“I highly recommend this funeral home and crematorium; when I had to make and pay for my brother’s arrangements across state lines, Evelyn Montonya, in particular, demonstrated both compassion and professionalism and made a very sad and difficult situation much easier. Many thanks.”
Judith,
I just learned of Colin’s passing and I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and your family. Many very positive memories are flashing through my mind as I write this note. My involvement with Colin on the L Series team and my time with him in France represent the two most memorable times of my professional career. The dynamics of the team we formed in Carrollton represented a once in a life time professional opportunity and created relationships and business success that has spanned now 20+ years. What I admired most about Colin was that he was all about getting the job done. Irrespective of any challenge he pulled the necessary people and resources together to do so. He developed many young engineers and served as an outstanding coach and mentor.
I remember having dinner with you and Colin in Dijon soon after you settled into your newly established residence and it seems not that long ago. I hope that you look back on your time in France with as many great memories as I do.
Warm Regards,
Kirk

Judith, so sorry to hear about Colin. You two came to mind a few days ago, wondering how things were. So many memories…your expertise and patience in the sell of my house back in 2004, getting the opportunity to stay in your home and care for Sophie while you two traveled. I learned so much from Colin at work, his quick wit, jokes, math skills, his use of the golf pencil, the times we traveled for work and telling stories while drinking a cold beverage in his room and on & on…I was telling the family of the news at the dinner table last night and was rambling on about Colin and my daughter asked me if Colin was her Uncle. I asked her what made her think that. She told me that when daddy talks about someone for that long about so many memories and ends up with tears in his eyes, we are usually related to them. So true…you guys definitely mean much to our family.

It has been a pleasure to work in France with Colin. He helped us a lot in Gas design and his heart is still beating in the gas roof top we manufacture and deliver all around Europe!

Colin joined us in France in 1999 to help the Dijon Engineering team and to bring knowledge from the Dallas PD&R. We worked together on various Europe Rooftop Designs and also specifically on the Lab design still running today. We enjoyed a lot his contribution to our activity here in France. I will remember a very kind and helpful person. Many thanks Colin!

Judith, we are so sorry about Colin. He was a great person and friend. I worked with him for several years while in the Ft. Worth plant. Colin was responsible for getting a transfer for me in to the Carrollton lab when the Ft. Worth location closed in 1991. I worked with him until I retired in 1996. We appreciate you for finding a house that was suitable and affordable for us in Carrollton, then helping us to sell it when I retired and moved to the lake. We hope to have a visit with you soon.

Judith… I have wonderful memories of Colin both when just talking or when we worked together contributing to a pellet stove project on the west coast. He used his engineering knowledge to contribute so much to so many. Like so many others, I will miss him.

To the family of Colin Holbrook
I had the great pleasure of being his Technician in the commercial group from 1988-95
I helped him developed the “L” Series product, and small package unit.
I learned a tremendous about from him over the years. We always got along so well.
He was a very interesting man.
I often though of him over the years, wondering where he might be playing Golf, or where he might be traveling to.
I will miss him

My condolences to the Holbrook family. I will always remember Colin for teaching me so much about gas combustion products at Lennox and still miss having him come by and saying Good Morning ‘Squire’ and I replying with Good Morning ‘Governor’. He will be truly missed.

He was a true friend and a great engineer. I am quite a “buff” of London double-deck buses and we enjoyed discussing our self-directed tours of the city.

I remember Colin, working with him on gas furnaces, in fact, he was the burner man. He also was with us when Argentina and the British fought the war over the Falkland Islands and Margaret Thatcher was the Prime Minister. He heard a lot about that. We also managed to help him, when he was in France. Unfortunately, that venture closed down and he came back to the U.S.
He traveled a lot, all over the world and also tried to get me to do the same, but I thought, I had enough traveling.
Now it is memories that are left and I often think about those times.
