CUMMING, Colin Benyon:
3.3.1937
(Formerly of Kaniere). Passed away in his sleep on November 2, 2022 at Christchurch Public Hospital. Well, Dad you would have been 86 next February, which was a fantastic effort. You were a strong man, as your handshake still proved. Colin was the ex-husband to Helen (nee Gilmore). Dad to Paul, Christopher, Bruce, and Julie-Anne, and father-in-law to Pauline and Grant. Poppa to Joel, Phillip, Benjamin, Cameron, Jakeb, Kimberlee, Andrew and Grace. Great-Poppa to Madison, Remy, Sonny, Cameron, Estelle, Freddie and Otto. We better not forget Layla, the bulldog you loved visiting you. We will miss you Dad. We are grateful for our special times over the last couple of years. Great conversations, tears, cuddles and lots of love shown. Dad had the best smile in the hospital, which he was well known for. Enjoy seeing the boys, Dad. Paul and Bruce will be welcoming you home, alongside our dear Cameron who's bound to have a cheeky smile on his face. It will be a massive reunion for you. Kick Paul up the bum from Lex!
We Love you.
