It is with deep sadness to announce the sudden passing of Collin John Lewis of Riverview, on April 14th at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Collin was born in Canterbury, NB on March 5, 1937. He can only be described as a good man He was everyone's go to guy for anything and everything. Collin retired from the CN in 1993 with 36 years’ service and often spoke fondly of his career as an electrician at the "Shops" and his many friends from work. In past years he enjoyed traveling with his loving wife Annabel, often accompanied with his brother Joe and his wife Donna. He also enjoyed "hunting" trips with family, usually not even bothering to load a gun. Nothing was more important to him than family, always making sure he could assist in any manner possible.
