Jerry Dean Collins

If you're really lucky in life, your path will cross someone like Jerry. You'll become great friends and that friendship will be a gift to treasured. I will miss my friend Jerry immensely. He was as loyal a friend as one could have and a joy to be with at all times. His humor, positive attitude and zest for life are characteristics I will try to emulate each and everyday. Rest in peace my friend.

My late husband Tom and Jerry shared many conversations at our car wash in Osprey, FL. My husband had tremendous respect for the fact that he was truly a self made man. My deepest condolences to Rita and his family.

Jerry will truly be missed! My deepest and sincerest sympathy to the entire family!!

We´re saddened by Jerry´s passing ! He was one of a kind ! Condolences to the family

I was privileged to have know Jerry for about 20 years. As a friend and client, there was no one better!! He and Rita have had a major impact on countless lives. Jerry's sense of humor was classic, but it was his loyalty & generosity that truly defined him. And typical with his personality and conviction, Jerry went out on his own terms. Rest in Peace my friend!!

Sending prays for the family. Jerry was a great and caring man to work for.
