Not sure what to say?

One of the finest educators I’ve had. Class of 1987 of Buffalo Traditional High School. He, with Mr Williams instilled in thousands of students, respect for learning and respect for each other.
I can still picture him laughing in the halls.
May you rest in peace Mr Collier, after a lifetime of service.

Sue, it's been many, many years since we've had any contact but I wanted to express my sympathy to you and your family for the recent loss of your husband.

Sue I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband. I just wanted to send my sympathies and let you know that I am thinking of you and your family at this time

Sue and met at work and I later met Hal. I called him my boyfriend because I liked him so much. He was funny and we shared some good laughs together. Sue was a wonderful wife and companion to Hal and lovingly took great care of him in his last years. Hal knew he was loved and Sue knew he loved her. Remember the happy times, Sue, they will support you.

I went to Buffalo Traditional School and Mr. Collier was Asst. Principal. He was a great guy to be around, my Mother worked in the front office with him. RIP Mr. Collier!

It was my privilege to work with Hal Collier during my time as an Amherst Town Board member. No one was more knowledgeable than Hal and he was always respectful of every member regardless of party.

To Jay and Wendy
Sorry for your loss
He was a wonderful father to a wonderful family

Hal was a wonderful man and a great husband to my friend and work colleague, Sue. Sue, our hearts are with you in this time of grief. Tony and I will remember him fondly.

Sue, I was deeply saddened to hear of Hal’s passing. I always enjoyed my interactions with both of you and your many pets. I will always remember Hal fondly. My condolences to you and the family.
