May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

The lives of all who interacted with Mr. Collins were enriched by his kindness and care for others. Mr. Collins' strong faith anchored him throughout his life, and his legacy lives on through his adoring children. Mr. Collins' twinkling eyes shone especially when this Irish blessing was spoken to conclude worship with him and fellow veterans at Radcliff Veterans Center, "May the LORD bless you and keep you. May the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. May the LORD lift up the light of his countenance upon you and give you PEACE."
