Dwight J. COLLIE

I only just learned of the Chiefs passing. He may not be with us physically now, but his influence lives on in so many of the lives he touched. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

This world has lost one of its best. Chief Collie was a good man and a devout Christian. He was instrumental in myself returning to Langley in 1983. I was shocked when I learned of his death the Sunday before his funeral. I made it my duty to attend his funeral. I am so happy that I did. He simply loved people and would do anything to help you. My prayers are with his family. Clarence (CJ) Johnson, Retired Personnel CMSgt, USAF

Per one of my last emails to Dwight.

"It is warm and dry on the bridge. Come on up and enjoy".

We knew each other through email corespondence instigated by Martha. We had the pleasure of talking to each other on the phone on one instance.

I hope that he enjoyed and took encouragement from the stories related to him across service boundaries and experiences.

My best to his very supportive family.
L. F. Demmmin, Capt. USN, (Ret.)

My condolences to Dwight's family. Dwight was an outstanding individual whose contributions to his beloved church, his community and the US Air Force were second to none. He will be sadly missed. May he rest in peace.
Don Drackert, Lt Colonel, USAF Retired

I was sincerely saddened to learn of Dwight's death. My having been the office's "new guy" some 45 years ago at Hq Pacific Air Forces, I was fortunate to fall under the mentoring of then "TSgt Dwight." He was a truly professional Personnel Manager, totally dedicated to a demanding job by which he set the example for all of us to follow. Chief Collie will be truly missed by all of us who had the pleasure of knowing him all these years.

I am so sad to hear about Chief Collie's passing. As a young airmen his counsel was instrumental in my AF career. He helped me decide between two different assignments, it was that assignment where I met my wife of 21 years. It was later that he helped me make funeral arrangements for my dad. I retired in 2000, but I always remembered Chief Collie for his kind disposition and superb advise. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

May the Lord bless the Collie Family with the peace and comfort of knowing he has joined his life's partner once again forever more. I knew Dwight in the AF as one of the most professional Airmen in the service. Gerald Lind, SMSgt, USAF (Ret)

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Dwight's family and friends.

Dear Brad and Nancy, you all are in my thoughts and prayers, I just found out today. Take care!!
