Condolences to the Collins family. Larry and Lorrie will be missed.
I enjoyed being a part of their band during the 70's. They were so kind to me as a young musician and protective of me on the road. I will always remember them for the good people they were, in addition to the great performers they were.

My condolences to your family. May you find peace and comfort in remembering the sound of Larry´s instrument. His playing brought joy to people. May you also find comfort and peace through the Bible.

I never heard of this guy. He looks so young in the picture. I guarantee that he was a rockabilly throughout his life. To everyone who's reading this, make sure to thank him for his style of music. Then once you do that, you're gonna have dreams of meeting him in Heaven. I know you will. Cheers to Mr. Collins!
