I didn't know Jim was sick and had passed away until I received my copy of Quinnipiac Magazine today in the mail. Saw him last year for the first time in a few years. Jim was a good friend on our college baseball team and someone who just the life of the party. He was a fun guy who enjoyed life. Such a shame he has passed on.

It has been many years since I saw Jimmy (like 25). He lived down the street from us on Payne Drive in Cheshire and he came over often to play hoops. He was only a few years older than my daughter and we had many good times playing and talking hoops. He was a young man of character and I am not surprised that he had such a successful life. I moved away (to Pittsburgh) and thus did not see him for years - but my prayers and thoughts go out to his family. He was a special person and his friends and family have lost him much to young. His children should all be proud of what a special father they had. I will miss him - and retain many wonderful memories of him. Dick Benfer

It just isn't fair to have to do this now. Just a month ago you helped me install a garbage disposal and build a headboard. You couldn't have been happier to work on projects with me at my house again. I am so happy you got to see me marry a girl you raved about to anyone who would listen, and that you got to know that we are close to bringing a granddaughter into the world that would have loved to call you Grandpa. The thought of you will continue to make me smile, and I will continue to try to make you proud. I love you Dad.

Someone recently told me I had your smile and nothing could have made me happier. I'm blessed to have moved back to CT and spend so much time with you making memories that will continue to comfort me during this time. I love you and miss you more than words can say. Xoxo

There are a number of stories that I could share, from the last 13 years of knowing Mr. Collins. It absolutely heart my heart when I heard that he was battling cancer. It was really great to be able to see him a couple of times in the last months, as he continued to put on a brave face for his friends and family.
From baseball to soccer to basketball, there were weeks at DePaolo and SHS where I spent more time with Mr. C than I did with my own father. The last time I saw Mr. C, it was at the SHS varsity basketball against Windsor. I was always so impressed at how much he loved his three children and how dedicated he was to their sports careers. Even though Matt had recently joined on as a member of the coaching staff, Mr. C was there to root on the Blue Knights. We sat next to each other and chatted throughout the game about everything from high school and middle school memories to how our lives were going now. While the team didn't win, I will always remember that night watching basketball with Mr. C! I will definitely never forget him.

My heart is broken. To think that I will never hear your infectious laugh again hurts more than I can comprehend. From the moment I met you, I have been in awe of the family you helped to raise. You have amazing children, one of whom I am so proud and lucky to call my husband. Their qualities are a direct reflection of you and I am so lucky to have been a witness to the extraordinary father you were to them. I feel blessed to be a part of that family now and to call them my siblings. I thank you for the lessons you've given them and for turning them into the wonderful people that they are now. I also thank you for the way you made me comfortable from the day I stepped into your lives. I never felt judged or scrutinized in your presence, instead you made me laugh and provided me the same kind of guidance and support that you did for your own children and for that I am truly grateful. Throughout the years, I grew to lean on you, your opinions and advice, just as much as Jim did. I am so glad that you were there to help us start our life together and we know that you will be there in our hearts as we continue our journey through so much more, including parenthood. We love you and will miss you every day forever.

Katie, Jim & Matt,
I am so terribly sorry for the loss of your father. There is no pain like the loss of a parent at such a young age, so may each of you find peace in your hearts at this difficult time with the support of each family member and friend by your side. May the memory and spirit of your father live on within each of you and may he now rest peacefully and no longer be in any pain. My love and prayers go out to the three of you from the bottom of my heart. "I hope you dance..."

I can't even believe I am doing this right now. Just two weeks ago we were enjoying a basketball game together. We had so many laughs over the years. Man did we laugh. You have given me more than you will ever know. Remember going to the Big East championship together? I do. Remember consoling me after tough losses? I do. Remember encouraging me through everything I ever did? I do. You have left me with too many memories to count. Hopefully one day that will help ease the pain. Love you. Keep shining down on me.

To the Collin's Family. I am deeply sorry for your loss. As you are all well aware Jim is a great guy and he will be greatly missed. I have fond memories of Jim being a great coach, and mentor to not only his children, but to myself and many others. I recall his strong dedication to coaching; always offering very useful advice on and off the baseball field. I feel very fortunate to have had met Mr. Collins. A personal note to Matt, Jim, and Katie; Please keep your heads up high and know that your father would not want you to drown in sorrow forever. The coming days, weeks, months, and even years will offer you a mixed bag of emotions. Some days will be easier than others, just trust me, allow the memories of your father to overcome the sorrow. Im sure your father and my father are up there having beers together!! R.I.P Jim.
