David M. Collins

Kathy, Emily and Danny, My deepest sympathy for the loss of a great guy. Dave hired me in the mid 80's @ B-T Tile. We did not know at the time he would set me on a lifetime career path. His ethics, attention to detail and quest for knowledge have guided me to this day. He has greatly influenced my life and many others. I always enjoyed stopping in to visit with him at Cluff's and laugh about the old days. Dave shall always remain in my thoughts.

Dear Kathy, Emily and Danny,
We are so heartbroken for your loss. David was a shining example of a husband, a father and a friend. We cherish the many years of friendship that brought our families together through kindergarten at Jennings School. Sending all our love.
Susan and Don Cash

I’m so sorry for your loss, Emily! Much love and support to you and your family during this terrible time.

Kathy,

We were so very sorry to hear about David. He truly was one of the good guys. We will miss him terribly.

You all are in our hearts and prayers.

We love you,

Pamela & Greg Cluff

I remember that day at Ocean Beach when Kathy met her Prince Charming. We were just young teenagers enjoying an afternoon at the beach. Who would have guessed that that moment would change Kathy’s life forever. She and David were truly soul mates. David became a part of my New London family and I loved him dearly. He was one of the nicest and bravest people I have ever known. I am blessed to have know him all these years. Kathy and David, Fran and Steve and my late husband and I were and...

So sorry for your loss. Have wonderful memories from high school.

Kathy , Daniel and Emily ,
So very sorry for your loss. Dave always had a pleasant smile and greeting whenever I saw him. He was one of the good ones. May he Rest In Peace.

Richie, Joe and I spoke today about the good times we had hanging with you at the Millers and Sullivan’s. You were a great friend and you and Kathy were the perfect couple. We offer our deepest sympathies to Kathy and your two children/families. You will be remembered our friend! ❤

I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
