William "Jack" Collier

Mrs. Collier and family, I was saddened to hear of your husband's death. I knew him through my sister, Kathy, his neighbor. I always remember him as smiling and laughing. He had a great attitude and always made me feel welcome. He will be very much missed. He also had a very generous nature. People like him are few and far between, and very rare.

Dear Collier Family, I remember my dad, Earl Beach, mentioning Jack many times as I grew up. I believe they were very close cousins at one time. My dad passed away in January at the age of 84. Although I do not remember ever meeting Jack, I do recall Aunt Kate and Uncle Bill very fondly. Uncle Bill always gave me a silver dollar when they would visit. I still have them. Just wanted you to know that the news reached the DeLand, FL relatives and we send our condolences. God bless you all.

Garry, Janet, Erin and David,

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I will miss just simply talking to him for he always had great stories to share, a great sense of humor, and a big heart. I read a sympathy card once that read, "Perhaps they are...

Dear Mrs. Collier, We were so sorry to hear of the death of your husband. Mr. Collier was a very loving and caring man who loved life.
He will be missed by many. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
