Not sure what to say?

Dear Gail. I was your little neighbor, "Sandy" on High Street in Holyoke. I learned of your loss via my older sister Phyllis...Bunkey's age... and although she lives in Alabama, she likes to go to Masslive.com, where she found the most impressive write up of his wonderful, influencial life.
I live in Florida and Phyllis and I talk weekly. She told me about Bunkey's passing and wondered if I remembered your family. Yes indeed. I remember your taking me into your parlor and you sat at...

I recently read of Mr. Collamore's passing, and wanted to send my sympathy to his family. I grew up in Chicopee Falls, and would never have missed watching As Schools Match Wits. That program brought enjoyment to so many people. I am a teacher. Mr. Collamore was a great role model for all teachers.

Dear Rosemary and Family.

Bunky was a true friend and colleague. He and I served many years together and he always had a unique approach to politics. But most of all I enjoyed his wit and humor. Schools Match Wits was an inspiration. May he rest in peace.
Sorry I could not be present as Ann & I are in Florida.

Dear Bob, Dave and family,
So sorry to hear of your recent loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Rosemary, and Family.

Your husband and father was my Early Western Civilization Professor at STCC back in 1998. To say the least he has been one of my favorite professors. He always kept me engaged with his abundance of knowledge relating to history. He would often talk of Crete, and I very much enjoyed his discussions on Greek History. I always looked forward to his classes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Mr. Collamore was a very special individual, and I was lucky...

To the Collamore Family: Very sorry to learn of Lennie's passing. He was a good friend. We are unable to visit with you as we are in Florida.

Dearest Rosemary, Robert, David and Mary:
Words cannot express our sincere sympathy at the loss of your husband and father.Remember all the good times we had together during the good old days - our heated political discussions and quiet moments at the beach. You can be assured that you all are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Love, Geraldine Burke, Dino and Paul Calcasola and children.

To the Collamore Family:

We are sorry to learn of Lenny's passing. He was a good friend and loyal supporter. We regret that we will not be with you as we are in Florida.

Bill and Betty Sullivan
