James Collins

He is greatly missed and will be remembered with love. Roger & Claudia Provencal

To Denise, Susan, Charles and Dennis. To my friend Jimmy, Choag, Chuggalut, which I affectionately called him. I hope you are in a happier place. I remember the days, Eds place, Cooks pond where you were the only person who I knew, who could float as if you were on a lounge chair. At Harrys Road Service, where we worked. The back roads, hot dog Annies. The beer runs to New York. Our trips to Boston, to Clarks house. My old friend, you still have the same eyes and the same smile. I...

Dear Denise (Susan, Charles, Dennis et al),

I was very sorry to hear that Jimmy (aka Choag of Tatnuck) passed away. We had a lot of great times growing up around the "Res" and the "Pond"and I regret greatly that I did not keep in closer contact with him over the years.

May Jimmy rest in peace and your grief pass with time.

Peace, Warren Snow

To Jim's wife, Dennis, Charles & Susan, Our deepest sympathy in the loss of your loved one. I grew up in the same neighborhood as Jim, and, I can say he was truly a wonderful person. In my early married years, Jim, and my brother, Ray, used to ride their bicycles all the way to Auburn to pay us a visit. His smile was infectious. He was warm & kind to everyone. I must say, "to know him, was to love him" He will truly be missed. Mary(Provencal)& Richard Seaman

We remained close into adulthood and eventually Jim was the guy breaking metal for our roofing company while at Lynch. I spoke to...

Sue, Pudge, Dennis and Denise;
It is hard to believe I have lost my life long friend. Having grown up together we were the closest of friends. We were inseparable as kids, spending our summers at cooks pond and hanging around Tatnuck sq. Having done everything from trick or treating to sliding our sleds down Dawson road on the glare ice, we remained close into adulthood and eventually Jim was the guy bending metal for my Son Steven as we embarked on a career in roofing. "Choug" (as we...
