In a heartbreaking turn of events, the local community is mourning the sudden and tragic passing of two outstanding individuals, David Wood and Colin Thomson. These men, who touched the lives of many, leave behind a void that cannot be easily filled. David Wood, a familiar face in the community, was known for his unwavering willingness to lend a helping hand. Whether it was at the community center or in and around family homes, David’s presence was synonymous with support.
Many have fond memories of the countless tasks he undertook with a cheerful spirit, always ready to assist with a smile. It might have taken some weeks for some to warm up to David’s jokes, but his good-natured humor eventually became a cherished aspect of his personality.
His legacy is not only one of practical assistance but also of the camaraderie he brought into the lives of those he interacted with. To his family, particularly Lornne, and the entire extended circle, our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
Colin Thomson, another pillar of the community, also left us suddenly. His contributions to the Radio City Association and the teamwork displayed during various projects underscored his commitment to making a positive impact. Working alongside Colin was more than just completing tasks; it was an opportunity to share hearty laughter and create lasting memories.
The community remembers Colin as a person who could find humor in any situation, turning even the most mundane tasks into enjoyable moments. The grounds at the center bear witness to the countless hours of hard work and shared joy that Colin brought into the lives of those around him. Our thoughts are with Colin’s family as they navigate this sorrowful time.
The passing of David Wood and Colin Thomson has left the community absolutely gutted, and their departure is a stark reminder of life’s fragility. These two decent men, taken from us far too early, have left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing them.
As we come together to mourn their loss, let us also celebrate the lives of David and Colin. Their legacies live on in the memories we shared, the laughter we enjoyed, and the bonds they forged. May they rest in peace, and may their families find strength and solace in the support of the community they so positively impacted. In the words of a heavy heart, “R.I.P. Bless
