Robert Ray "Bob" Collins

You were my favorite co-worker ever! You invited me to join the "special" people in the little break room on my first day at SSB, you taught me how to use power tools but most importantly you showed be how to be a really good friend. After years of Monday - Friday in that building at the corner of Michigan Ave & Blackstone our working together came to an end but our friendship never did. I hated fearing of your passing but thankful I am on a page or 2 in the book of your life. I was the...

Where do I begin.....for 28 years bob has been a close friend (like family). He was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone. We had some fun times together up north that i will cherish forever. Snowmobiling. Quadding, kayaking, sitting around camp fire are a few fun times I will always remember. He was the best dog sitter and friend. We love you bob. Until we meet again. Rest in peace.

Well Bob, it was about a week ago that you and I were sharing our thoughts about how to cure the craziness of the world that we live in at our bi-weekly "shed meetings" and unfortunately, we won't be able to realize our solutions together. You will be missed by so many people that you help tirelessly non stop. There is a special place in heaven for you my friend and brother in law. Love you and rest in peace.

We are sorry for your loss. Bob was a great guy. Always willing to help others. He loved our dogs and our Bailey loved to sit on his lap. Steve & Mary Brigham

Way too soon, Bob! As cousins, we spent so many summers together, swimming and bike riding for hours. Then in high school, both of our bands were at Interlochen at the same time, so we hung out together again! You were truly the nicest person I've ever known. I will miss everything about you!
