To the Family of Bob Collins:  So sorry to hear about Bobs passing.  Bob had a significant impact on our family in River Grove.  He was always a good friend to my Dad, Carroll Harmon and gave me a solid start at Illinois Bell in 1969.  He graced our family at my wedding May 12, 1973 and helped my dad by finding him work after his retirement from Illinois Bell in 1973.  I lost track of him, but after completing 40 years with AT&T I remember his kindness to our family.

“Dear Sara,
Al and I extend our sincere condolences to you and your family on the passing of your husband. We were not fortunate enough to know him - reading about his life we are impressed by his career achievements and by all the service he gave to a very wide community, though his work with Triton Community College, his church and service organizations. He did so much good. May the love and support of family surround you and happy memories help you at this sad time. We miss you at Tremble Clefs and hope to see you back with us soon.” - Al and Donna Rosenheck (Scottsdale, AZ)

I'm sorry to hear of the passing of Bob. My condolences to the Collins family.

Dear Sara and Family,
I am saddened to hear of Bob's passing.  He was a staunch supporter of education and of doing the right thing.  In addition, he was a strong supporter of me and my daughters while we were all at Triton.  I am a bit shocked to realize that you have been in Arizona for 30 years already.  Give everyone my love and know that I am deeply appreciative of Bob and his work as well as yours.  My love and prayes are with you.  Phoebe Helm

Dear Barb and Family,

Sincerely,
Nancy

To the family. Losing someone who has being a part of your life for so many years must be very difficult. May it help to ease the hurt you feel now to know that others care and are thinking of you at this sad time. With deepest sympathy. (Psalms 61:3)

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Bob, and wish to extend our condolences to all the family.
