Subject: Colin Tainsh, VENTURE Class '56

It is with great sadness and regret that I must advise that Colin Tainsh passed away this afternoon in Cabazon, California, from a massive heart attack. He and Simone were visiting with Don and Pat Uhrich in Palm Desert, when Colin took a dizzy spell, shortly thereafter he passed out and despite best efforts by a number of Doctors providing CPR etc., he could not be revived. Simone and their son, Bob, will be staying with Don and Pat until things get settled. Colin's wish was to be cremated. Simone will take his ashes back to Edmonton in due course. When I get more information, I will pass it along.

Respectfully,
Lanc
