Could someone, who has posted here or someone who knows Colin, please send me a note on Facebook? [Jo A Dale]

I had a very good friend by this name [Colin McFarland] who was an avid computer user, scuba diver, hot-rod enthusiast, rock climber ... however, much of our conversations were about computers/programming/hacking.

I have lost touch with him in the last couple of years.

I apologize to family and friends for this post because I am sure it is insensitive in nature at some level but I need to know if this is the Colin I knew.

Again, my apologies,

joanna

I have always told my husband that Colin was one of the few people I trusted. That made me feel at ease and was fond of our kids. A pleasure to have had in my life.

Philip has always held him in high regards. He is distraught as to why this had to happen to Colin. He wasn't just a friend. He was family, to all of us. He will be deeply missed.
