Our deepest condolences to Mrs. Collins, John, Steve & Katie. Mr. Collins was a great father (as you can tell by his kids & grandkids) and neighborhood dad. He was a big part of our childhood memories of our own little town, Prince Pond.

We will always remember John's sense of humor and his infectious laugh! He was a great & loyal friend, husband & dad. He is missed every day!

I loved Uncle he was always smiling. My heart goes out to you Aunty Karen and the rest of the family.
