Aiden Arrives and Sadly, Colin Leaves Us
AIDEN ARRIVES AND SADLY, COLIN LEAVES US
Wednesday, November 21, 2007
Happily they arrive ...
Cassandra Anderton reminds us that last Thursday, November 15, 2007, Kate and Chef Angus An of Gastropod welcomed their baby Aiden into the world. A heart felt congratulations to the happy family.
And so sadly they leave us ...
We reprint a letter from Kurt Larson on the untimely death of his good friend and colleague, Colin Law.
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It is with sadness that I have to inform you that Colin Law passed away suddenly early Tuesday morning in a car accident.
He was not only a colleague, but more importantly a friend and I will miss him dearly. He was our first sales guy and he played a huge and significant role in developing our brands in the Vancouver market here. He did a fantastic job and I am sure we would not be where we are today with out him. He has left a huge hole for us to fill.
The one thing I can take solace in is the fact that Colin lived life to the fullest and probably lived twice as much in his 37 years as I have in the past 40 years. For me I will miss talking about beer with him, having a few drinks and just generally shooting the shit. We spoke if not every day it was every other day and I was lucky enough to see him in Whistler on Nov 9th. In just the 3 years I have known him I have some great memories, like going to IVSA's on the island; Colin and I sitting in the front of the car while Loki licked my ears from the back seat. That dog went with him everywhere!
Rest in peace Colin. I will miss you. I hope they have Kokanee and Brooklyn EIPA on draught where ever you are now.
JUST ADDED: A celebration of Colin's life is going to take place Sunday, November 25th, 2007, 6:00pm to 9:00pm at Boneta, 1 Cordova St Vancouver, BC.
All are welcome to come to raise a glass (or two), swap some stories and celebrate the life of an incredible man, Colin Law. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything else. I look forward to being with you all.
