We featured Colin Carter, and his wife Veronica, back in 2016 as our Village People candidates in an article written by Claire Cooper.

The pair were frequently seen around Lindfield and Haywards Heath as they travelled in convoy on their motorised wheelchairs.

Colin, who was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at a young age, passed away peacefully (not from Coronavirus) in a nursing home, where he’d been for the past year or so, on 7th April. As well as his wife, he leaves behind his son and two grandchildren.

Veronica, who celebrated her Golden Wedding Anniversary with Colin two years ago, explained: “So many people from the area knew Colin by face, if not name, that I really want people to hear the news.”

The family will be organising a memorial service for Colin in due course, after the current Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted.
