Leonard COLLINS Obituary

Leonard Francis Collins May 1, 1946 - August 16, 2023 It is with deep sadness that our family announces the passing of Leonard F. Collins (Len) on Wednesday, August 16, 2023. Predeceased by his parents, Len (1999) and Norah (1996); and wife, Anne (1993). Loving husband of Sheila Morrison; and much-beloved father of Catherine (Mark). Cherished by stepdaughters, Catherine (Neil) and Juliana (Len). Adoring grandpa of Koltyn and Miles. Dear brother of Don (Joan), Mike (Pat), Jim (Bev), Paul (Lianne), Juliana (Paul) and Sarah Jane. Fondly known as 'Uncle Lennie' to his many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews. Len's career was with the Toronto Metropolitan Police and the Ontario Police Commission. In retirement, Len joined the Knights of Columbus (Marian Council 3881) and was elected for multiple terms as President of the OCA. As well, to continue fueling his fire for learning, Len enjoyed his involvement with the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Visitation will be held on Monday, August 21, 2023, at Oakview Funeral Home, 56 Lakeshore Road W., Oakville, from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. A funeral service will be held at St. James Catholic Church in Oakville on Tuesday, August 22, 2023, at 11:00 a.m.

Very sorry to hear of Len's passing. I remember many good times at St. James Elementary in Oakville over the years. Len was always a good school buddy and his outlook often kept us all cheerful. Condolences to his family.

Denis and I send out deepest condolences on Len's passing, we have fond memories of him, Sheila and Catherine when we lived across the street on Bayview in Oakville. He was a great gentleman and always enjoyed speaking with him. May he rest in peace!

I'm so sorry to hear of Len's passing. We were in the same classes at St. James School, from Grade 5 onto Grade 9. We saw each other in Mass many times over the following years. He was always a gentleman, with a great sense of humour, and he had a great love for his family. Sending prayers and love to the family.
