Peter Collings

My husband Tom Veile enjoyed riding to and from Essex Satellite. They both started their teaching careers at that school. Unfortunately Tom passed away last year after a brief illness.

My husband Tom enjoyed working with Pete. They worked together at the Essex Satellite School in Essex. Tom just passed away in May of 2024.

COLEMAN!.. (in a gruff voice)...great guy...said it like it was.. (kinda like Trump)...Lotta fun in the bar or on the basketball courts...a true Jewett City LEGEND!

Rest easy old friend.

Mr. Collings was one of my auto body instructors at Ellis. A good man whom I touched base with time to time even after he was done at the school. He even coined my nickname. He was a little rough around the edges and that’s why I appreciated learning from him....Condolences to his family.

I'm going to miss you deeply, Pop. I couldn't have asked for a better father. Such a compassionate, loving, realistic and supportive father. Rest easy, old man. I'll be just fine. Look over Hannah and I, as well as your grand daughters.

I would like to extend my condolences to Pete's family. We worked together at the Essex Satellite school in Essex CT. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Tom and Barbara Veile

The great times growing up on Oak street with Peter, Jimmy and Ken. Memories of your hunting dog that was afraid of gun shots, the chicken you all raised from an Easter chickadee, the time Peter fell on the SeeSaw and jammed his two front teeth! May you rest in peace Peter and my condolences to all the Collings family.
