Edwin P. Kollinger

I am saddened by this news. When I was a freshman in college, Ed took me under his wing, showed me the ropes of registration..guided me through my freshman year. I enjoyed his company at all times. Funny, thoughtful, smart and loyal.

Ed was a member of Beta Theta Pi at DePauw University. He is remembered by his fraternity brothers as a genuine good guy, with a wonderful spirit. One of the most positive, and generous souls you will ever know. It is no surprise that he lived his life helping others. Just thinking about Ed makes you feel good - even though its been 39 years since college. He was the real deal.

Bryan, I hope time will help to lessen the pain of the the terrible, untimely loss of Ed, he was too young. I am so sad to see him go and so very sorry for your loss. Ed was as good a person as they come, he will be sorely missed by all that knew him
