Sad news indeed.

I met Collin on Skype. He was a great guy and a friend. I haven't spoken with him recently but he will be missed. His contributions to CFS2 are numerous and fantastic in their detail. Yes, thank you for posting it here too - CFS2 was his love.

RIP Collin.
 
Bummer.

Very sad news indeed. Collin was one of true greats around here. A super good guy with a terrific sense of humor and also a very talented and interesting guy. Thank you for all of the help, advice and laughs over the years. And thanks for all of your contributions to this hobby that we all love and share. Collin, you will be missed.

Thanks, CT, for the heads up.

So very sad to hear of this.

CFS 2 is so much better from your involvement, & I thank you for it. Safe voyage my friend. :pirate:

Rest in Peace
 
Very sad news. I was on skype with Collin and Tango in the fall and we had many laughs and talked about CFS2 for a couple of hours. He was a master of his craft and will be greatly missed.

RIP my Friend,

Talon

I will miss Collin dearly, he was a very kind soul who understood all too well the issues that I and grizzly50 have with our legs. He was much worse off than either of us, because the damage to his legs stemmed from his work in the British Merchant Marine during a fire where he put his own life on the line to save others.

Despite the fact that he was in constant pain, he would always ask me when we spoke about how my legs were doing, and often took his upon himself to make ships in CFS2 for people, such as the SS Ohio tanker. Collin was a true gentlemen, a class act, and as others said, had a wicked sense of humor.

I hope God keeps the grog handy...you know how those British sailors can be. Godspeed, my friend. :unitedkingdom:
 
I have known and used all of his great works since he first released them. He was and will be one of the greats. Collin you will be missed. Safe journy. ~S
 
And so we witness the passing of another master. He will be missed.

Godspeed to him and may his family find peace.
 
Sad news indeed.....

.... I always felt that his depictions of some of the ships of the line were the best around for their class. His rendition of the USS Laffey was extremely accurate as I remember her from when we operated with her in my squadron.

Collin, as you are piped over the Quarterdeck one last time,to change stations and get underway to your final port-of-call, you will not quickly be forgotten and your ships will steam as long as my comp. runs. God speed, sir.
The first one tonight will be for you.

Terribly sad news indeed. Thankfully he will always be remembered in this community because of the passion he put into his creations, which grace many CFS2 installs.

To Fair Winds and Safe Harbours Collin. :guinness:
 
I am shocked and deeply saddened by this news. I really loved Colin and we talked often and long over the years and he was a mentor, a friend and a shipmate of mine that i held in high esteem and deeply cared about. I had not been in touch with him for a while. but that was my fault and the fault of my own health being up and down at times. I knew of his circumstances and his life and much of his history for we shared a love of ships and the sea and he bridged the gap actually between sail and steam and modern shipping as he started out in training as a young lad and was for years a well known and much respected officer in the British merchant marine. He had a awesome skill in ship modelling and wicked humour and we shared so much. I am so sorry to hear this, i will try to get in touch with the family.

oh me. i am sorry.
 
Sad news indeed...confirming Bruce's contact with family...contacted us via Facebook. Very sad news. Going to miss my friend and mentor. Been friends over a decade...terrific modeler,fantastic naval historian and most important... Good man.Miss ya mate....fair seas and following winds. :unitedkingdom
 
A Good Man a Good Friend and a Great Teacher. I always enjoyed those conversations with him, even hearing him snore, will always remember that amazing sense of humor. Rum for a Toast........................Lord Collin God Bless You.
