I too remember Colin from the 1980's, although I didn't really know him very well.
I have a few of Colin's books and enjoyed reading "Analyse Your Chess" (Everyman) 2011. Colin had a very open and descriptive writing style. The above book was an honest and readable collection of games where he "wrote" about his thoughts and experiences - how he was feeling and why he played such and such a move - rather than quoting several alternative lines. The way Colin managed the strength to carry on with his Chess after his stroke and sight disabilities was very admirable.
Sad loss.
