Sending much love to Aunty Muriel and the Rockman family. We knew Uncle Colin to be a kind and generous man, always smiling. Sincere offer of condolence and support to the family. Shafiek & Karmel Savahl
Please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of your beloved husband.
To the Rockman family, my heartfelt condolences. Almost 6 decades ago I watched Uncle Colin and his friends pimp up his Cortina with such finesse.
I know that he will have taken that finesse to all of the things he did in his life.
He was a father figure in my life and he had an impact that is immeasurable. Thank you for the honour of having known him and the family.
My heartfelt condolences to aunty Mu and the family. From all the stories I have heard, Uncle Colin was quite a remarkable man and leaves an indelible print on the hearts of all he has met. Sending love and courage to all the family during this sad and difficult time. May his soul rest in peace and rise in glory. Thinking of you all of you, the Britton family.
Hi Aunty Mu. You would normally be the one sending messages of condolence to SA – so it is very difficult for the shoe to be on the other foot. We cannot imagine how terrible and bleak the world must be looking for all of you right now, and we pray for your strength during this difficult time. We know all too well how bereft you must feel. I am so glad that I recently managed to meet the uncle who left SA many years ago and I so wish that all of us here had the opportunity to get to know the warm, funny, proud, loving and kind person he was. I remember him as a young, handsome, long haired and very slim young man, driving a red sports car, (I think it was a Ford Capri) with Uncle George in the passenger seat, with music blaring from his speakers. The cassettes were as big as little packages with labels stuck on the front. They were so cool! As young as I was, I vividly remember the day your ship set sail for a better life in a new world – we were all so sad! Clinton, Keith, Lynne and their families are blessed to have been raised and loved by such a special man – he was a true gift. We know all too well that it will be difficult without him, and he will leave a gaping hole in your lives, but you have a great many epic and wonderful memories of him and the legacy he left behind. May his beautiful soul rest in eternal peace. With love from your nieces and nephew- Jacquie, Penny, Trady and Sita and all the spouses and children from the tip of South Africa. We love you!
Dearest Mu, Clinton, Keith, Lynne and all your families.
Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy for your huge loss. Col touched all our hearts with his gentle nature, quirky sense of humour, his genuine interest in people and their achievements – no matter what they were.
Col was happy to share his knowledge and experiences, and also always open to learning more.
Above all, Col will always be remembered for his intense love of, and devotion to, his Family. He always spoke very fondly of them.
Col will be truly missed, but he has left many wonderful memories behind.
With tons of love from Angie, Greg and all our family.
Dear Mu and Family,
Our deepest condolences.
Colin was such a lovely man and we are sure he will be missed by all.
We will keep you all in our prayers always.
Love Judiith and Bob.
Please accept Our Sincere Condolences all the way from Port Elizabeth
Much Love from his only Sister Dawn and Brian
I’m so sorry I can’t be there in person but I just want you to know that I’m thinking of you all at this difficult time.
Col was a funny, kind and extremely generous man and I will never forget everything he did for my myself and my mum over the years.
Sending all my love to Muriel, Keith, Lynne and Clinton.
Dear Muriel,
My sincere condolences to you and your family in your loss. I have very fond memories of Colin and so glad I got to see you both last year after so many years.
Thinking of you,
Jill

Dearest Mu, Clinton, Keith, Lynne and your beautiful families,
We were so sorry to hear of Colin’s passing. My memories of him all make me smile. He was such a presence, larger than life itself and so proud of all of you and his grandkids.
The love Col brought to this world was so evident in every word that was spoken at his memorial. What a beautiful send off.
Please know that you are all in our hearts and prayers.
Peace and love to you all. xo
Col, a titan amongst men and a man who lived well and laughed often. A gentleman who has left his footprints in the sands of time and you will be remebered for all eternity. Mu and my cousins, I am so sorry for your loss and I will keep you inmy prayers. May your hearts find solace in remembering his light, laughter, and courage. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. You may be gone from our sight, but you are never gone from our hearts. You will always be with us in spirit. Rest in peace Col.
Sending my love to Mu, Keith, and all the Rockmans at this sad and difficult moment, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
May you find comfort in the cherished memories and the knowledge that Col touched the lives of many in a profound way.
With deepest sympathy,
Dear aunty Mu and cousins. We were so sorry to hear about the passing of uncle Col. As you negotiate your life without him there physically, may you take solace in the memories he left you with. Sending all our love from mum Louie, Tanya, Clayton, Quinn and Cullen in PE.
