Not sure what to say?

I met Tim through the investment business in the late 90's. We finally connected and became fast friends through driving cars on racetracks. Tim followed his own path and was able to bring others along with him. I will miss his calls and sporadic updates on his current ventures and ideas. He was a visionary and very generous person. It was a blessing to have know Tim.

I worked for him for a few years at Collins Securities. He was a force of nature, a selling hurricane. Charismatic, smart as a whip, insightful, great fun. He loved that Maserati Ghibli! Refined and raw, he is missed.

I'm sorry to hear this Tim. I will give Zuka another snuggle for you. We had some very good adventures. Jerry

So sorry to hear about Tim. May God grant your family peace now and in the weeks to come. (Philippians 4:6,7)

Sending sincere condolences to all of the Collins family. I remember him well from my teen years when I saw him the most. He would come to visit Leila and she always had a big party to celebrate all of you! He was a wonderful man.

Our Deepest Sympathy,
We are thinking of you with very fond memories!
Sincerely, The Harmon Family

I only knew Tim a short time, but the man was a FORCE. Hilarious, energetic, charming, funny, brilliant, and eternally young, he was truly larger than life and I'm grateful to have known him. He will be sorely missed but his legacy will abide.

Dad's mother & father, Leila & Charles H. "Tim" and brother Mike

Thanks to all friends and business colleagues that have reached out regarding our father's death - it's been wonderful to see how far reaching his relationships and impact extended. I look forward to connecting with family & friends in Colorado Springs. David
