I am sad to lose a lifelong friend. He was my buddy, and I will never forget him. He was a hell of a fighter and a hero. He saved my life when I was drowning and saved another's too. My sympathy for your loss.

Dear Collins Family, I know the last few months have been very difficult. Those memories will soon fade and be once again replaced by those great stories I've heard over the years. Rip is now in heaven with our Lord and that is worth celebrating! You and Rip are in our prayers. Bob Broda
