    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.

    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.

  18. Merlin Chapin says:

    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.

    Judith I am so sorry to hear of Colin's passing - I was just thinking about him the othe day and wondered what he's up to! I so enjoyed working with Colin at Lennox R&D in Carrollton. I learned so much from him, enjoyed talking with him about his many travels, and Judith & grandchildren! He will be missed! Sincerely, Brenda & Ron Lentz

  18. 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.
