Rodney Collins

Eastham Rodney Dwight Wesley Collins passed peacefully at his home on March 7, 2012, at the age of 66. He is survived by his wife, Marion Harper Collins and three children, Matthew Bradley Collins of Leavenworth, WA, Erin Lommell Collins of Dennis, MA and Benjamin McKinney Collins of Boston, MA, as well as his sister, Sherry Collins DeJong of Merritt Island FL and brother, Minturn Post Collins III, of Los Angeles, CA. Known most affectionately as Roddy to his close friends and family, he was a kind man of generous spirit and great integrity. An avid hunter and fisherman, he thoroughly enjoyed exploring the marshes and open waters surrounding the Cape in search of bass, bluefish and black ducks. Roddy possessed a wonderful imagination that he applied to marine mechanics, creative carpentry and wild storytelling. He was an amazing cook, an amateur marine biologist, a passionate gardener. He was dearly loved and will be sorely missed. May he continue to sail the high seas in search of big fish and rendezvous with his beloved RPC in the MotherLand. Long live Yendor Snilloc. Memorial services will be held at a later date. Donations in his name may be made to the American Cancer Society.
