Davnob is very sad to announce that Colin Davidovitz has died at the age of just 91 (yesterday was his birthday). Colin was the second of Uncle Lammie’s three children. He worked for many years in television, and it was at STV that he met Catherine, to whom he was married for fifty years (she died in 2009). They had four children and seven grandchildren, and he lived to see four great-grand-children. After retiring from TV-AM in 1993, he entered politics and served as a Conservative Councillor for nearly twenty years, eventually becoming Chairman of Hampshire County Council.
For a family as large and disparate as ours it can be difficult to keep contact, but Colin was one of those people who did, and it was great seeing him at family events and reunions over the years. For the ‘Davnob generation’ he was for many years our oldest cousin. In 2018 he started to write a fascinating account of his life, that was eventually published in Davnob. (The link is here). Davnob wishes his whole family ‘a long life’ and condolences and warm wishes. (see messages below from Judy Frankel and Clive and Wendy Noble).
