RIP Collin
Sylvia,
Colin had a significant influence on my life, and was a great friend. I am sad that he is gone, but it was an honor and privileged to have known him.
Colin will be sadly missed, and I am thinking about you during this sad time.

My deepest condolences to the Grant family. It was an honour to have known, laugh, and serve, with “the mailman” as he was affectionately known during his deployment in Afghanistan. These fond memories will remain with me. He will be deeply missed.
Sylvia,
My sincerest condolences for your loss. Give my best to Sharon and Danny as well. If you remember, I graduated from St.FX with Sharon and have very fond memories of the great time we had at graduation. I was very sorry to hear about Colin.
Take care,
Susan
