Henry Walker "Hank" Collins Jr.

Cydne, I was in the MPH class at Tennessee with Hank and you. I remember the good times we had in our classes. I was sad to learn of Hank's passing from Colleen. May God bless you and your family.

Cydne, I just learned of Hank's passing. My heart hurts for you. Even though we have not kept in touch these last few years, I still remember fondly our times together. Please know that you have my deepest condolences and that you will be in my prayers.

I was Hank's very first secretary after he graduated from college a very ambitious young health educator with the State of North Carolina. He was so wonderful to work for - he quickly became respected in his field. Hank was so thoughtful - and remembered all the important 'secretary days' with lovely gifts! He was a great friend!

Hank was a true gentleman and a quality person who cared deeply about this community and each individual. He touched our lives and we are the better for it.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Cydne, I have been out of town for several days and didn't learn about Hank's death until last night (16th). I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that we care and that our prayers are with you and the family during these difficult days as they have been all along. Love you, Velda

Hank was one of those individuals that really made a difference in the lives of others. He would always go out of his way to help, give advice, or just lend a hand. Even when he was sick, he was still putting others first and doing whatever he could to inspire, educate and give assistance. He made many, many friends and often left a lasting impression, he will truly be missed. It's amazing how one person can impact so many lives in a self-less manner and make such a positive difference...

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Hank and his family. I was a high school friend who graduated with his sister, Mary Margaret. Hank was a great guy; and from reading your local news online, I realize that he became an even greater man!

We have been neighbors of Hank and Cydne's for many years. I also used to see him several times a week when he would stop in at The Video Buff where I worked many years ago. He was so friendly and never failed to ask about me and my family. What a caring man! We will miss him...Our heartfelt sympathy to Cydne..

Hank was my supervisor many years ago at the Buncombe County Health Center in the Health Education Division. I was one of the health educators and recently retired starting my own business. I'm so sorry for your loss. Hank will be greatly missed in the Public Health World and by all of his friends and family.
With regards, Cheryl
