So saddened to hear of John's passing. My deepest condolences to the family. I met John when he moved in Oak hills and we became good friends. We spent may hours poolside over the years, solving all the world problems. He was a great storyteller and very entertaining. His sense of humor and kindness will be remembered by many.
After moving from Oak Hills, 5 years ago, we would meet occasionally for drinks to catch up. He was really proud of his sons, always shared their accomplishments.
I met both of you, Ryan and Michael at Super Bowl three years ago at Trio's with your father, don't know if you remember me, but I remember having a great time with you both that day, even though, we never won.
I will miss his friendship. My thought and prayers to you both and the rest of your family.

Deepest sympathies to the Collins family. John was/IS a fixture at MC Football. His memory will live on in the hearts of the players and coaches he worked with on sidelines.
Godspeed, Sir.

One of the dearest, kindest childhood friends ever. I will miss that big happy grin you always greeted me with and a hug that big to follow. From grammar school on, we always remained friends and you always had some nice remembrance of working with my Dad and brother or memories of friends. We've lost too many and I will miss you so.
