Born on the 19th January 1933, passed away on the 22nd December 2011. You are forever Imprinted in my memory Colin R.I.P
Colin Saul was a unique man of intellect the likes of which I/we will never see again and he will be sorely missed.
You see Colin was not only my Brother in Law but my friend. Colin helped me through the formative years of my marriage to his sister Beryl whenever troubles struck and asked nothing in return. He was a generous man, not only of deed but in body, who gave his time freely without aforethought and had no malicious thoughts or intentions in his well read head. He seen the best in everybody, even though they did not warrant it, which I am sure I did not many a time.
Colin, if I recollect rightly, was the first from the Saul family to go to college and wanted to be an optician but that was not to pan out, he ended his working life in the petrochemical industry and used to take samples regularly from huge tankers back to the lab for analysis. I'm sure that taking these samples was a contributory factor in him contracting Vascular Dementia. Colin was a never smoker.
You succumbed, my friend, to that robber of mind, body and soul that is called Dementia. But you did not give in to this thief lightly, you hung on as if you were clinging to life it's very self and we whom are left behind new this, we applauded in our very hearts and hoped amongst all the odds you would survive your ordeal...but alas this was not to happen.
Good night Colin, and God bless.
Colin at College, extreme right.
Colin as a young man.
