Colin Arnold (17 Feb 1953 - 3 Apr 2021)

Thank you for your great kindness and spirit.

Will miss you buddy, but have many happy memories, The Raven outings especially the one to Majorca! Dancing to the stones. I will never forget your smile and your sense of humour. Rest in peace

I lost my dad at the age of 6, but have always been blessed to have amazing friends around me throughout my life. Your son Kris is like a brother to me, after 25 years of friendship. You and Marian have been like parents to me and always welcomed me into your home, all of my best memories involve you guys other the years. There's not any other people on this planet I've consumed as much wine with than you guys! We certainly put the bar staff to work over the years, I always felt grateful knowing you and catching up with you guys. Lots of happy, hilarious memories over the years.

Me and you being humorously terrified at the drag waiters serving us in Blackpool in 1999. When Kris was performing at Funny Girl, they went from delicate, dainty bar staff, softly speaking to us in feminine voices, to suddenly bellowing "Drinking up time please" in masciline tones after the show was over! It always makes me smile!

You having a few too many on Christmas day 2005 singing "I can't get no, satisfaction!" and dancing in ways which would make us laugh. It went on and on and on!

Those early mornings I'd grab breakfast at your house, while you were reading the newspaper and watching the racing! You were a typical, great dad, in all the right ways. A man of few words, but when you did say something, I always listened, then usually laughed immediately afterwards! Geeza, fella!

Thank you for making me part of your beautiful family over the years, it meant more to me than you'll ever know. I promise to look out for your family whenever they need anything. The point of life, arguably is to keep your good qualities going, pass them down to the next generation. With Kris and Mark and all of your Grandchildren, you can now rest easy knowing the future is in good hands

Lots of love to you Colin. x

I have so many happy memories of Colin including beano's to Brighton, playing football with him and our lads holiday to Cornwall where we never stopped laughing for the whole week. Such good times.
Sending lots of love to Marian and the family. xx

CXA06 (BT call sign) will go down in history, if it was not for BT our families paths would not have crossed and we wouldn't have had the pleasure of making so many fond memories. Line them up on the bar, we will meet again, just not yet!
All our love

In memory of Colin

Whenever the family got together you could always guarantee that Colins smile would light the room up together with his laugh - a lovely memory for us to have.
With love from The Silvester’s

Thankyou for the memories

Although I didn't get to see you very often, I shall always remember your smile. It lit the room. You will be much missed here and heaven is a richer place for having you. A beautiful man.

Sorry for your loss and condolences to the family. I will always remember Colin as a fun uncle.....saying pull my finger! Xx

Dear Dad,
I hope you knew how special you were to us all and how much you were and still are loved.
I have so many amazing memories with you from playing football with you and not being able to run because we were laughing so much to giving us dinner which were sweet burgers and you looking for the cats fighting at night.
All is forgiven about my bobble hat.
I will always remember you dancing and singing, hitting those amazing high notes. Always asking a DJ if they had any stones, there are so many more that I will always cherish.
You taught me so much and made me who I am. Thank you for always believing in me and for being you.
May you rest in peace Dad with a fine french red wine, you were a 1 in a million, a diamond geezer.
I love you! Xxxx
