My condolences to the Tasker family, Colin was a legend and I´ll never forget him telling us kids we were turner's, you bloody turners, he would say. Remembering him say that phrase always brings a smile to my face. Go well good sir.

So sad to hear of Colin's passing while in Tasmania.
My memories are two fold, firstly at the Freezing Works working with you Lynn and meeting Colin there. He was such a cheeky bugger!
And then at the Waimea Harriers Walking Group.
Such a happy and friendly person who was great to spend time with.
Thinking of you Lynn, Kerryn and Stephen at this time and sending a virtual hug!
