Title: obituary
Post by: Dave Smith on July 04, 2020, 07:37:45 PM

Colin Penny. I don't see his name on the new KHF but he was a regular contributor with "funnies" on the old one. I have just been informed that he died on 4th April this year, aged 91. He lived in Minster & we corresponded for a short while as he was an ex apprentice at Sheerness Dockyard before going to sea. RIP

Thanks Dave,  CDP was a regular on the old forum.  I had wondered how he was doing, and was sorry to read your post.  RIP CDP.

I am not sure the Colin Penny CDP on the old forum is the same Colin Penney of the website. There were 2 of the same age roughly with different spellings. I have a feeling Colin Penney may well be alive and kicking still. Shown as living in Sheerness not Minster as was CDP.
Does any one know for shore.
