Mike, thank you for always being there for Auntie Lu. You were a great guy and you were always good to my whole family. You will be missed.
Natalie, Malory, Chris and Chris, Your Dad and my aunt were together for so long that I considered him to be part of my family. In a way that makes you my family also, so if there is anything you ever need please look me up.

I worked with Mike at Time Warner Cable in Malden. I was shocked to hear of his passing. I haven't seen him since my family & I moved to NH 6 years ago. I didn't know he was sick. My heart goes out to all his family and friends. We have to believe he is at peace. It helps in the healing process to go on without him. May your memories always keep him close to your heart. May God bless you, and help you get through your loss.
Sincerely,
Carol Labbe

Your dad was a great guy and was well respected by so many... The benefit of over 400 people showed how much admiration everyone had for him. We know you were very proud to have had him for a dad. Mike loved his children and his grandchildren very much. Cherish all of your memories and keep them close to your heart forever. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. God Bless

To The Collins Family,
My deepest regrets over the loss of Mike. I worked at Time Warner Cable with Mike for many years and will always remember him as one of the "good guys"! I am sad to learn he is no longer with us, but happy that I had the opportunity to know such a nice man.
My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
