Adrianna Col's wife rang me with the news he passed peacefully this morning.
She asked me to hold back releasing this news until now so that all family members were aware.
Col's wife and daughters have done a unbelievable job in nursing him through this period and we should be very grateful that Sir Col left us in such a loving environment.
Adrianna is very grateful for all the support afforded by this site and wonderful friendship demonstrated once we knew the extent of Col's illness.
My understanding is there will be no funeral but there will be a memorial at which I will be attending in due course.
Thanks again everyone for your acts of kindness over the past few months.
I will be putting something more up in due course with a view to celebrating Sir Col the Mushroom, one of the truly great members of the One Eyed Eel Site.

RIP Col. Such sad news. Condolences to his family and friends, and also to all his close friends on this site.
Poppa, I know you are a good friend of his, so today would no doubt be a difficult day for you and many others on this site. Thanks for keeping us informed and for being a good friend to Col.
Rest In Peace Col.
Condolences to friends and family. And Pop - well played mate, you're a good man.

Fuck . That's fucking fucked . Lost for words right now.
RIP old timer , we've been chatting for longer than I can remember .
Thanks for the kind words to date, there will be plenty more to come......just said to Kram that I can see him laughing now, he's chatting with Drop Bear comparing this new world with no pain! I'm ok so don't worry about me, start thinking of some one liners to say at his memorial when the time comes.
Gutted. Rest easy mate.
