My deepest sympathy to the family.
I was at Dunton High with Ted and then we met up again at Ecole Ogilvie where he was the principal and I was the librarian. These were great years because Ted was so pleasant to work with. He was always in a good mood, he was honest and straightforward. Above all,he loved the kids.
I am so sorry that will not be around to enjoy his retirement.
God bless you all.

It is not easy to lose someone you love.It is with great sorrow to hear of his passing.
I had the pleasure to work with Mr Collinson for the last couple of years.He always had a sense of humor and a laugh,so loud it made you smile.I bet he's smiling down on you now.

I remember the days when Ted was at Riverview School. He had a great personality and was liked by all. One of my fondest memories is of a Christmas play the teachers put on for the students. He was such a good sport and appeared on stage wearing a tutu.
Life can be so unfair taking people at such a young age, but Ted, you certainly left your mark.

To a very wonderful family ... Audrey, Tracey, Brad, Shaun, Angelo, Anthony and Nellie my sincere sympathy to you all as you struggle through this challenging time.
To me Ted will always be a wonderful guy committed to his work and dedicated in so many special ways to helping others. He has touched so many people and has inspired us all with his wisdom, kindness and willingness to help others suceed. His joy for life as was always evident in his booming laughter!
It has been an honour to know him and shared some of his immense pride in you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you in the days ahead.

I am so sorry to hear of Ted's passing, I would like to express my sympathies to all of his family. Ted was always a fun loving individual every time I saw him., and I have known Brad and Sean for quite a while now. I was on vacation at the time of his passing and would have wanted to attend his service.
May God watch over all you.

I am very sorry to hear about Ted's passing. We attended Dunton High together in the mid 60s. He was fun loving and a real people person. And obviously judging from the sentiment expressed in all the emails, someone who will be very much missed.

To the Collinson family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy. It is through many years of Barons football that I had the honour and pleasure to be coached by Ted. His dedication and devotion for the things he loved is what made everybody who came in contact with him a better person. Rest in peace my friend.

It is with deep regret that I learned of Ted's passing, unfortunately too late to present my condolences in person. As a parent, I admired not only his dedication to his students, but his humour and his willingness to be "up front" with news both good and bad. As a parent rep and now as a Commissioner, I have had the opportunity to meet many educators, but Ted remained one of my favourites, as a principal and as a person.
My sincerest sympathies to the family on their loss.

The Collinson Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy.I was shocked to hear of your loss.Ted often went beyond the call of duty to help out Vanier student athletes. He continued to do so long after he left our football program by doing whatever he could to get them to the next level.
I will never forget the many times, his kindness made my job much easier.

I worked with Ted at the EMSB, and always looked forward to one of his visits to 6000 Fielding. He always had a joke, or a funny story to share with me , and also had an appreciation of the business side of our operations and how things could be made more efficient. I was profoundly saddened to hear of his sudden passing, and wish to extend my deepest sympathies to his family.
