To all Puma enthusiasts,

I have some very sad news.

Colin Yamamoto (Bok) died of a heart attack on Saturday afternoon at his house.

He was doing what he loved best - prepping his beloved Milly for a show.

I'm sorry this is short, but I am a bit lost for words at the moment. I met Colin in May 2001 at my first Puma meet, and he has been a great friend ever since

May you rest in peace Colin, and find some great roads where ever you are.

Ed.

Dear Colin, we wish that you are resting in peace, you have been a fabulous friend to have known all the years that we have had Puma involvement. I want to thank you for all the support and advice that you have given and your endless enthusiasm. You will be dearly missed.

Reason for edit: sounded so impersonal :( not what was mesnt, so glad to have known you so sorry that you have gone on now

searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale

omg... can't believe it. Tell me it's not true!

First met Colin back in 'the early days' - he's been a really good friend and he will be sorely, sorely missed.

RIP indeed... my thoughts go out to his family and loved ones.

Blow me over with a feather! I'm absolutely staggered to be reading this thread. Colin I first met many many many years ago at his first meet in Hampshire...had some interesting convo's on "design"

Colin, wherever you are, rest in peace fella...you'll be sorely missed.

blimey, i am shocked...!!

His posts will be really missed on here....not to mention his love of puma meets which must have been approaching 100 or more...

That is bad news indeed.... thoughts go out to friends and family...

Jeez,

Talk about bolt from the blue.

I've been lucky to call Colin a friend for virtually all of this decade.

Shocked, gutted, and going to miss the big man.

I have just been told, I am so sorry to hear this. You were a star Colin.
You were one of the first Pumapeople I met in 2003, and were always such a lovely man. You will be sorely missed by all.

RIP Colin

I can't believe Colin is gone. I've just looked through the last six years of photos on our PC and there are so many of Colin doing entertaining things. He was such fun and I am proud to have been able to call him a friend.

I'll miss you so much Colin.
