I am very sad to hear of the passing of my friend Billy Collins. We worked together, cut wood for the winter and spent time with our families. Whenever I needed a hand he was always right there. I don´t think I ever had a better friend than Billy. I will miss him...rest in peace my friend.

Carol and family, i wanted to send my sincere sympathy to you all for the loss of Billy. I have memories of the days long ago when we all were young and dancing at the Brown Log Inn and having pizza and beers at Fusco's. He was a big man with a big heart and loved you all. rip Bill
