John J. Collins Sr.

Wish I could be with the Collins family to say goodbye to my friend and brother. I have had so many adventures with John from the ball fields to Mexico we had some great times. John was a man worth knowing and has certainly left his mark on the IBEW Local #7.

Chris and I want to extend our condolences on the passing of John. He was a great guy from a great family.

Maryann and the Collins family We send our heartfelt condolences to you. It was an honor to call John our friend. He was a great guy that won´t be forgotten.

My sincere condolences to the Collins family. John was a great mentor to me and helped me begin my career in the electrical industry. I would not be where I am today without John. Once a brother always a brother. Rest in peace John

Our condolences from the Murray Hill Ave. Gallagher family. Rest in Peace.

From a Cathedral grad who considered John a valued friend. I often saw him representing his Union brothers on various jobs. It is major loss for Springfield and Naples.

To the family. John was a good friend and brother. May he rest in peace. Bob Lague

Our heartfelt sympathy to all family and friends. Always enjoyed visits whether from Cass/Everett Street neighborhood and then when urban renewal put us all over to Lexington/Narragansett Streets (couldn't ever leave our Sacred Heart roots). God bless. (Down memory lane: Father was Charles, Our Aunt Mary went Sacred Heart High and knew your Aunt Mary, we'd visit Candy at Mercy and my sister Judy was in Brian's SH class).
