John Allan "Abe" Collamore

Abe was my home room teacher, JV baseball coach and driver´s Ed instructor. Never a dull moment! We never got away with much under his tutelage, but he was always fun. Rest In Peace my beloved mentor and friend. My condolences to his family.

Mr. Collamore coached and taught the youth of Holyoke for a lifetime He was my JV COACH, studyroom teacher and self-appointed probation officer. Taught by example. Took pride in winning the games of skin at the Holyoke Boys Club. A privilege to have known him. My sincere condolences to the entire Collamore clan.

Tim and Family So sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad-- he definitely, was 1 in a million!! Please know I am thinking of you all. xo

Tim, Eileen and family. I was sorry to read of Abe´s passing. He was kind, had a great sense of humor and was a pleasure to work with.

My deepest sympathies to the Collamore family. May the good time and good memories last in your hearts forever. What a great Man who will be missed by so many.

Please accept the heartfelt condolences of myself and my family. What a wonderful person Abe was.

Farewell to one of the kindest Christian men we ever knew in our lifetime. We met Abe and Margie in 1974 when we made our Cursillo. From that point on, we never met one or the other without feeling we were truly loved! What a gift. We hope to meet them again one day in the not-too-distant future. Until then, we will try to emulate their genuine love for and acceptance of others. Our sincere condolences to their wonderful extended family. De Colores, Paul and Patti Pierce
