Another thing I remember about Dr. Collins is that he was always a welcomed pastor for summer revivals at Hollywood Baptist. Actually, it seems to me that he was always the pastor who held our revivals when I was a child and probably for a while thereafter. I can still remember the sound of his voice. You know, he was a pastor and friend, but he always felt like a family member to me because my family spoke of him often, even long after he left Hollywood.

I knew him not as a pastor, but as a neighbor and a friend. He lived his life as if his next step would be to the pulpit. He lived his life before the very face of God. I'm honored to have been his neighbor for nearly 33 years. When I hear someway say "Man of Christ", I immediately visualize Dr. Collins no matter who is being discussed. What a life he lived!

Our loss is surely Heaven's gain. Carl was a precious man. His mother, Callie, was my grandmother's sister. Carl touched so many lives. He loved the Lord, his family and his friends with all his heart. I imagine he is still going through the receiving line in Heaven!

Dr. Collins was the pastor who baptized me in the 70's at Beulah Baptist in Lynchburg. His sermons were powerful and definitely based on the word of the Bible. I rejoice in his passing that now he is reunited with his wife and is now in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. His family was truly blessed because of his Christan example and service. God bless you all.

Dr. Collins was certainly an accomplished man and ever faithful servant to God. He was a childhood freind to my Dad (Robert Shelton, Jr) as they were raised in Cambria, VA. We also knew him as our pastor in later years at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Salem. I will be ever grateful for his words of comfort and salvation when he spoke at Dad's funeral as his lifelong friend. Rest in peace faithful servant.

Dr.Collins was always an inspiration to me since Beulah where he baptized my sister and me. He conducted her wedding and our late father, "The Sarge", at his funeral. He remained a friend of my father until my father passed away in Dec 2006. Dr. Collins was a friend of our family for close to 40 years. He held my children and even some of my 14 grandchildren.
