To Aidan and the Stokes family. We were very sorry to hear of Colin's untimely passing.

Sincere sympathy to Colin's family and friends on his untimely passing. He has left us many happy memories, especially from the IPA and Castlewood Avenue days.

I hadn't seen Colin for many years and only heard of his passing today.

I worked with Colin when we both started as teenagers in Dept of Social Welfare, D'Olier St in 1977 and played together on the office soccer team.

It is a testament to his character that I hold fond memories of him all these years later and I was very saddened to hear of his passing

May he rest in peace

So sad the news of Colin's passing. He was such a fine character. He always had a smile on his face and a story to tell.
Many a good time was had in his company. Rest in peace Colin.

My special memory of Colin is at my late mother's funeral when I was feeling down, he buoyed me up. R.I.P. Colin.

Sincere condolences to Maura, Aidan and all the family
May Colin rest in peace

Very Sorry to hear of Colin's passing

Having grown up in Walkinstown I have found memories of Colin..as Aidan's older Brother and indeed the entire Stokes Family.

A 2 year age gap was a life time in teenage years .. but always the gent and always had time for us younger lads.

A lovely all round guy.

May Colin rest in peace and sincere condolences to all his family

So sorry to hear of Colin’s passing. I always loved spending time with him in Dublin, catching up with him & Maria and exploring town. He always had something interesting to say. After the last time I was in Ireland with Billy, Colin would send Billy songs over WhatsApp and Billy would send one back the next day (he was 2 at the time) and it was a very sweet connection for them. Colin will be missed, thinking of you all and sending love to the family xx

To Joyce,
I am so sorry for the loss of your soulmate, Colin was a very special person, who was loved by so many for his kindness, generosity and warm personality. He will be sadly missed.
Love from Siobhan, Alex, Ciosa and Fiona.

My sincere condolences to Joyce, Maria and the Stokes Family, Colin lit up every room and life that he entered and will be remembered with great fondness, he was one in a million, rest in peace Colin.

We will always remember such great memories of Colin and all of the Stokes family growing up on Kilnamanagh Rd.
May Colin's gentle soul rest in peace.

I would like to offer my condolences to Joyce and Colin's family. I met Colin before he joined us in the Office of the Ombudsman. Both of us were assigned to the same interview board. I noticed that he viewed life through a different lens and brought out the best in those we interviewed. He was generous and sincere with his colleagues and a great friend.

Rest in peace Colin.

Sincere condolence Jackie Maura and all the Stoke family on the passing of your dear brother Colin, Thoughts and prayers 🙏 are with you all at this sad time, Rest in peace Colin

Deepest sympathies and condolences to Joyce and family ,so sad to hear of Colin's passing.
I would have known Colin from
school and later from playing football with Castle Celtic and sharing the odd drink or two, he was always great company especially with his rendition of "The workman's friend"
a poem by Flann O'Brian, which always signalled last drinks. He was a great character who always seems to be happy with an infectious smile that will be sadly missed

Dear Joyce and family. Just letting you know that I’m thinking of you at this very difficult and sad time. Colin is at peace now. Your love for Colin and the happy times you spent together will be in your heart forever. Sincerely, Maeve

Deepest condolences to the Stokes family on Colin’s sad passing. We worked together in AHG&I in the nineties. Colin was both erudite and funny. We had many pleasant discussions together on various types of subjects.

RIP Colin. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

To Joyce and all the Stokes family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Colin in the Ombudsman for several years. He was such a gentleman and so well respected and valued by all of his colleagues. Always such great fun and with that little twinkle in his eye. He will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear of Colin's passing. I had the pleasure of sharing an office with Colin in the OIC for a number of memorable years. He was great craic and a great story teller with a quote for every occasion. He always saw the bright side. Sympathy to all of Colin's family and friends.

So very sad to hear of Colín's passing. My deepest sympathy to his family and close friends. I only have the best of memories of Colín when we were kids playing football and then afterwards meeting around Christmas time with the lads sharing stories. Colín was an amazing storyteller and would engage comfortably with anyone. Although we only met occasionally I will miss his company. A great man, a great person. RIP.

To Joyce, Maria, Ben, Mick, Maura, Aidan and Jackie.

Sincere condolences on the passing of a very special soul.
Colin was kind, generous, great company and always ready to lend a helping hand.
Always ready with a song ... I can still see him singing "She's leaving home" in Kilnamanagh, with gusto.

Rest in peace Col ... you will live on in all our hearts.

Dear Maria, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your lovely Dad, Colin. Sincere condolences to Colin’s family and friends at this difficult time. May Colin Rest in Peace

Condolences to you and the Stokes family on the passing of Colin . May he Rest in Peace

I did not know Colin long as I was relatively new to the Office of the Ombudsman before he retired possibly 3/4 years. This was long enough through my daily interactions with him to discover he was a gentleman, regularly prone to break out into poetry, words, or the verse of a song as fitting to the discussion. I had to give him training at some point on the new Case Record Management (CRM) system in the office it was no mean feat....finding his keyboard on his desk was a task :) :) to say the least...he arrived up to me one day and presented me with a beautiful gift of a 2019 National Gallery of Ireland diary which I still have, just to say thank you to me. It was a beautiful gesture which reflected his nature and thoughtfulness and I was very struck by his kindness and appreciation to me just simply doing my job. Colin was a really lovely person and it was lovely to have had that
fleeting moment in his company over those few short years. May Colin rest in peace and sincere condolences to all his family and friends.

Our thoughts and prayers going out to the Stokes family on the sad passing of a wonderful character. May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to you, Joyce, and to all who loved Colin, on the loss of your beloved husband. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but the pictures painted by all those offering sympathies here, describe a true gentleman, a friend held in high regard by all who enjoyed his company over the years.
With much love from Bairbre and your fellow Corus singers.

So sad to read of Colin's passing. I warmly recall his honesty and constructive work ethic and his attachment to his bicycle! Sympathy to his family and friends. I measc na naoimh go raibh a anam macanta.
