Daniel Hoyt Collyer

Happy Heavenly Birthday my dear old friend. Many memories from our Elementary and Jr High school days in Eastie. You are missed by many.

If there was a heart for our crowd, it would have been Buck. The world may have become a little less kind once he passed. I'll miss your voice, and sensitivity.

Hard to put in words how sad I feel. He was a beautiful man. Kind, considerate, humble, and a true friend to many of us. Yet he left a lasting legacy as a teacher and mentor to many kids disadvantaged but never in Bucky's eyes.
My sincere condolences to Cindy, his children Lee and Danielle, and to Tammy, who cared after him throughout his ordeal with dementia. Never easy.
It was the smile after banging in that turn around jump Shot from the corner. I'll always remember all the good times. RIP Buck.

Rest in peace, Dan. Your kindness helped so many challenged young people who you supported with empathy and caring. You were a friend to so many and I treasured our friendship, your gentle laugh and generous spirit. My condolences to Lee and Danielle, and To Cindy and family who cared so deeply for him.
