The obituary notice of Colin WALES

Colin taught me English at Grangemouth High School 1986/87. He was a very kind and supportive person who I respected greatly. He was someone you could depend on. Due to Autism I struggled at that time (although no diagnosis at that point) I believe he noticed my issues very clearly and was incredibly supportive and encouraged me to push to succeed.

He is someone I have always remembered and was recently spoken about to a friend of mine, who was also a former pupil.

A much loved and respected man.

So sorry to hear of Colin's passing. Remember him well from Wallace High School. RIP.

So sad to hear of Mr Wales passing 😢. Best teacher I had at Bannockburn high school. Thoughts to all his family xx

I am so shocked to learn of the death of Colin. I had the pleasure of meeting him through Jamie Nicol, Alison Somerville , Lorna Welsh , Fiona Ritchie , Ishbel Nicholson , Philip Weir , Katrina Ellis and Alex Bell to name but a few who all came from Bridge of Allan Primary to the newly opened Wallace High School . We were all great pals and were in the school choir together. Colin was a real gentle person and always had a kind word for everyone ! He adored his little sister too and was always very protective towards her. Such a sad loss. Sending my sincere condolences to all his family . Jessie-Anne Malcolm (MacDonald)

Hi Colin and I were great friends at Primary School and into Secondary School both being the first to attend Wallace high School for its first year. I am very pleased to see such great tributes to Colin as we had not been in touch for a long time. I was very sad to hear of Colin's passing hopefully Sheena and her Dad will remember me. I now live in England with my wife of 39 years 2 kids and 5 Grandkids.
Love to you all so sorry to hear of your loss,
Jamie Nicoll

Had the pleasure of being one of Mr Wales' pupils during my time at Bannockburn High School 1994 - 1999. Sad to hear of this loss. Such a great man and always had fond memories of him. RIP.

Extremely sad to learn of Mr Wales passing. He was a fantastic teacher at Bannockburn High School and will be sorely missed by many. Best wishes to Ms Anderson and the family. x

I had the pleasure of knowing Colin when he joined my English department at Grangemouth High School and found him a valued addition to the staff. Sadly, we drifted apart after he moved on and lost touch. I'll remember Colin for his good humour and sharp mind.

R.I.P Mr Wales u were 1 off the best teachers at bannockburn high so sorry for ur sad loss Ms Anderson thoughts go out to u and Mr Wales family and friends at this sad and difficult time
