My thoughts as well David. I talked to him several times over the years, he was so humble and funny too. I wished I liked his music more but that's minor stuff compared to the person I did like very much.

My friend!
We communicated with Colin for many years.
We discussed many albums!
He treated well my criticism.
Especially, touching singers and leading guitar
Colin had a sparkling sense of humor, not available to many modern hulks.
RIP, Colin!

Quite a shock. I had no idea he was 63 to be honest and assumed he was 30ish at the most. 
RIP Colin . Your music will live on.

I never got around to listening to his music but it's so sad.  I know what a favourite he is around here.  Much sympathy to all who knew him

Not the way I expected to start the new year.
What a loss of talent, and of humanity.

RIP Colin.

I'm speachless. We were connected on Linkedin. Few months ago I shared his "minor masterpiece" promo to some of my Linkedin connections and he popped in the discussion introducing himself to my Italian pen friends.
He sent me the first Corvus Stone for review as soon as it was released and saying that I'm sad is too few.

I am in disbelief, we had some luscious exchanges for many years. Posted nice pics with Sonia just the other day! RIP Colin

This is really sad news.  I don't know that I really ever talked to Colin, but I knew that he was a PA member and that he had friends here amongst us.  RIP

Almost an hour ago I received the horrid news that Colin passed away a couple of days ago.
I am still in sock, and I simply cannot believe it!
We were speaking a few days ago, and we were talking about his New Year's Eve plans...

Here is a short piece I wrote on my blog just now.
http://gfreedomathina.blogspot.gr/2017/12/colin-tench-has-passed-away-rip.html

R.I.P Colin, we will remember and treasure you for always...
If anybody wants please visit: http://www.gfreedomathina.blogspot.com/

This is my Blog mostly about Rock music, but also a few other things as well.

You are most welcome!

Thank you. :)
