Colin Leonard Watson

In Colin’s own words he was just a simple South Sea Islander from Aotearoa. A philosophy he took with him into a career spanning three decades in the IT industry and a lifetime of leisure hours enjoying just about every known water sport. A kind and generous husband, father and grandfather whose wry humour, cheeky grin and easy laugh will be remembered but sadly missed.
